Recreation and nature in perfect balance.
The Setting
Lake Bistineau State Park (Doyline) offers a satisfying blend of beautiful vistas and outstanding recreational facilities. Memorable for its upland mixed hardwood forest, its open waters, and its enchanting stands of cypress and tupelo trees, the park offers two boat launches, hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, two swimming pools, a lakefront beach, camping, cabins, lodges, and excellent fishing!
Area 1 is located in the main section of the park, with cabins, a group camp and swimming beach. Picnicking along the lake is tremendously popular at numerous sites equipped with tables, grills, and nearby restrooms. Several picnic pavilions are also available for larger groups. Area 2 includes a group camp, playgrounds, a large picnic area with several pavilions, a swimming pool, a baseball field and a boat launch.
The park’s trail system includes 1-1/2 miles of blazed nature trail for explorers, a 10-mile mountain bike trail and an 11-mile canoe trail for visitors who want to see the park from the water. A disc golf course also offers another venue for outdoor recreation and testing your “family competition” skills.
