Cross Lake is an 8,575-acre man-made reservoir located near Shreveport, Louisiana, created in 1926. This expansive water body serves as the primary water supply for the City of Shreveport and features over 50 miles of shoreline. The lake's character is defined by moss-covered cypress trees lining its banks, open water areas, and a diverse mix of aquatic habitats including submerged trees, underwater vegetation, and varied structure. The lake supports healthy populations of game fish and provides excellent opportunities for both recreational and sport fishing. Its proximity to Shreveport makes it a highly accessible fishery, though it requires a special boat permit from the City of Shreveport for all watercraft, including non-motorized vessels.
