I guess I didn't include des alemands and Verret because I'm not sure how safe it is for kids swimming near the dock (possibly same issue as larto).
I grew up going to a camp on LV (the lake itself) sure there are gators and snakes in the water but that is EVERWHERE in LA. Swam my arse off around the dock and the camp backed up to the swamp. Shot the snakes and gators with pellet guns
We still go to parties on the lake and are never bothered by wildlife. Its by no means a clear water lake

i spent a lot of time on (and in!) Belle River and Lake Verret in college and in my 20's.
Looking at properties on zillow, most on LV or the surrounding rivers/bayous are on leased land. How does that work? it says 5 year lease. in 5 years the land owner could decided they don't want to lease to you any more and you're screwed?

On larto: if we ventured that far, we'd likely just go to caney lake
Look at places on Saline lake or Cross Bayou, a lot less traffic and Larto is accessible

caney lake
Hope your bank account is fat.
Others to consider, Bayou/Lake Louie is kind of a hidden gem, no a lot of traffic and good perch/bass fishing.
Black River Lake near Jonesville is really good palce for tubing skiing etc, not so much for fishing. Couple other small lakes is the same area, Wallace lake,
Tew lake, Bushley Bayou, Ouchita river is good as well.

I believe these are leases from the state.

There's one on Caney for $300k that's pretty solid. And my criteria are based off of that lake.
Only problem with Caney is it's 4h15min from the house.
I wonder what's the rental situation up there (like if you could go more expensive but then rent it out a bit).

Not my purchase, but a 4 hour one way haul would for sure cut into my use of the place. Good friend of mine has a Ranch in Texas roughly the same distance from where we live, and you almost need to take vacation to make a trip there that isn't a complete rush.

Lake fields in Lockport. Don't know if you want to drive a vehicle to the camp, cause that is not possible.

Would have to be accessible by car, no doubt.
On Caney lake, that's why I'm ruling it out and would like something within 2-3h of thibodaux. Four hours is fine for a long weekend but yes, if it's a normal Friday-Sunday, you're not getting there until late and you have to leave early.

Our place on Toledo Bend is about 3.5 hours door to door and I will only go if I have at least 4 days available.

Not to Hijack, but lets say I am looking for my retirement home and want to be on a clear lake, with woods similar to Toledo Bend, anywhere in LA... what would you choose?
I saw a couple of places on Kincaid I think it was but very pricey.

Not a clear water lake, but have you considered Lake Arthur?
From Houma I would guess it's about a 2-1/2 hour drive.
I had a frat brother who was from Lake Arthur, went home with him one weekend. It was a really nice area and very picturesque.

I'm heard from numerous camp owners on Caney lake that there is only 1 camp on the entire lake that offers to be rented out...don't know how true it is tho
