Iatt Lake Observation Pier


The Iatt Lake Observation Pier and Day Use Facility is a newly built addition to the recreational opportunities offered by the Catahoula Ranger District. Built in 2003 by members of the Forest Service and various cooperators, the Iatt Lake Observation Pier is a must see attraction. Day Use Area: Restroom, gravel parking, handicap accessible, canoe boat launch, picnic tables, and an awesome observation pier with interpretive signs. The best times to observe migratory birds would be in the spring and fall. There are, however, many bird species that live at Iatt Lake and in the surrounding forests all year long due to the mild climate and open forests and waterways of Louisiana. There are also many other species of wildlife including beaver that can often be observed from the Iatt Lake Observation Pier. Trash disposal available.
