About Lake Charles

Louisiana's Playground

Lake Charles is a popular lake community located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The lake covers an area of over 1700 acres and features over five miles of shoreline. It is the self-proclaimed playground of Louisiana sitting along Interstate 10.

Due to its convenient proximity to the interstate, Houston, Texas, is within an hour's drive, and New Orleans is only two hours away.

Popular Boating Destination

Being that Lake Charles is connected to Calcasieu Lake, this waterfront is quite expansive, which makes it a trendy boating destination. All manner of watercraft is permitted on this lake, including jet skis. Wakeboarding, water skiing, and kayaking are all popular activities among the residents.

Lake Charles is considered a fisherman's dream because of its connection to the Gulf of Mexico. You can enjoy fishing in freshwater, brackish water, saltwater, pier fishing, boat fishing, and surf fishing. You can even venture out into the Gulf if you are looking to hook a bigger prize.

Plenty to Do on Lake Charles

Southwest Louisiana hosts over 75 annual festivals, from various Mardi Gras celebrations to the Louisiana Pirate Festival and Christmas celebrations.

Lake Charles has a booming nightlife with the Lake Charles Casino Resorts being the perfect place to start your night out. The resorts are laden with premier amenities from golf greens and spas to horseracing and island time getaways.

If you prefer educational experiences, you can stop by the DeQuincy Railroad Museum or the Imperial Calcasieu Museum. Take a tour through historic districts to admire the early 1900's architecture.
