Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Lake Claiborne is a reservoir located in the rolling hills of northern Louisiana, near Aycock. The lake was formed in 1970 by the construction of the Claiborne Dam on the Bayou D'Arbonne. It spans 6,400 acres and has a maximum depth of 37 feet. The lake is fed by several surface streams, including Bayou D'Arbonne and Little Corney Bayou, which provide water to several nearby towns and cities. The lake is also fed by snowpack from the surrounding hills, which contributes to its water levels during the winter months. Agriculture and recreation are important uses of the lake, with fishing being a significant draw, as the lake is stocked with several species of fish, including bass, catfish, and crappie. The surrounding area is also home to several parks and camping areas, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
