Lake Bistineau is a popular recreational lake located near Ringgold, LA in Louisiana. The lake was created by the damming of Dorcheat Bayou in the 1800s to provide power to local sawmills. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by two main sources of water: surface flow from Dorcheat Bayou and surrounding creeks, and precipitation and snowmelt from the Red River Basin. The lake provides water for agricultural irrigation and serves as a habitat for a variety of wildlife species, including fish, birds, and alligators. Recreational activities include fishing, boating, and camping. However, the lake is currently facing environmental challenges such as invasive species and pollution, which threaten the health of the ecosystem.
