Fishing
Lake D'Arbonne is best known for crappie, and plenty of anglers come for bass and catfish too. Cypress trees, creek channels and the bridges make it a good lake to explore. If you catch a good one, you'll want the shirt to prove it: see our Lake D'Arbonne t-shirts, like Crappie Crew and Hook, Line & Faith.
Lake D'Arbonne State Park
The state park sits on the lake just outside Farmerville, with cabins, campsites, fishing piers, boat access and wooded trails. It's a good base if you're staying a few days. Check the Louisiana State Parks website for current hours, fees and reservations before you go.
