Old River Lake
About Old River Lake
Old River Lake lies within Tensas County in northeastern Louisiana, surrounded by the small communities of Newellton, LA, and nearby towns across the Mississippi border. This lake covers a moderate expanse of 246 acres, providing a peaceful setting typical of the region's waterways. Its notably shallow depth, measuring essentially zero feet at maximum, suggests a broad, flat waterbody that blends naturally into the local landscape. The lake's location near the Louisiana-Mississippi border places it within a quiet rural area where visitors can enjoy the calm environment. While the lake does not have nearby state parks, its proximity to small towns offers some local charm and accessibility for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a tranquil experience in the heart of Tensas County.

The shallow nature of the lake may influence the types of fish and their behavior, but it provides a consistent environment for fishing. While the lake's fish diversity is limited to known species, the accessible size of the waterbody allows for enjoyable fishing outings without the complexity of deeper or more varied habitats. This simplicity can appeal to anglers who appreciate a relaxed day on the water focused on the essentials of freshwater fishing.
