Nearest reservoir or clear water lake near south east La?

Should have put in OP, will update it.

This would be for two-three families with kids ranging from 0-9. We would want to be able to tow them behind a party barge so would want relatively low traffic area. Would also want perch jerkin and somewhere we could have a large nice covered deck.

Does the diversion canal fit that?

Larto Lake.

Maybe not quite that bad but there's plenty of them there.

False river is your answer

Larto is full of gators and meth heads

Dam, had no idea.

On larto: if we ventured that far, we'd likely just go to caney lake
On Jordan river: looks pricey for the more spacious areas
On sandstone lake: can you build a dock/boat house? Looks kind of tight.
On diversion: we'd want something where the kids can swim off the dock and we can pull them right in front of there

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).

False River or Old River in Bachelor, La. You can catch tons of catfish at false River n the spring, it would be fun for the kids, and the bream fishing gets pretty good too.

Old River is nice, but you can only catch fish when the water gets "right" and the water gets very high so your camp would have to be on stilts. However, when old river does get "right" its some of the best fishing around, you can catch many a sac-a-lait fishing right underneath your peir. Clean and clear water there too.

Had a camp on verret as a kid. Swam off the dock every weekend. But def traffic esp on holidays. Also if u want to pull right in front of the camp may want to look at belle river area

Hideaway Lake in Picayune, MS. About an hour drive from New Orleans. Private lake with a nice club house/recreation area.

caney or toledo.
