About Prien Lake

Part of the Calcasieu Lake Region

Prien Lake is a member of the related bodies of water that make up the Lake Charles area. Located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, Prien Lake covers 997 acres and features two miles of shoreline.

The other lakes that make up this area are Calcasieu Lake, Lake Charles, Moss Lake, and Mud Lake.

For lake goers seeking the bustle of a larger city, Houston, Texas, is just over an hour from the waterfront. The city of Lafayette, Louisiana, is not far either with travel being just over an hour’s drive.

Another perk of living on Prien Lake is its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, which is perfect for beach lovers.

A Large Boating Destination

Due to Prien Lake’s prime location and connection with some of Louisiana’s larger lakes, it is a premier destination for boaters and other types of watercraft. Vehicles displaying the proper permits are allowed to participate in various watersports, including wakeboarding, jet skiing, and even kayaking.

Along with boating comes the popular sport of fishing. Calcasieu Lake is a well-known hot spot amongst Gulf Coast anglers as a destination for red drum fishing and spotted sea trout, flounder, and brown/white shrimp. There have even been sightings of dolphins and other sea life regularly.

Part of Prien Lake Park

Being a community lake, Prien Lake is also made up of a surrounding state park called Prien Lake Park.

This area features a wide variety of family recreation, including picnic pavilions, utility buildings, two scenic pavilions, and walking paths, to name a few.

For those seeking entertainment, the Prien Pointe Amphitheatre is a popular location for locals. It features multiple plays throughout the year and is a renowned outdoor wedding venue.
