Black Lake Bayou is a 105-mile-long (169 km)[1] waterway in northwest Louisiana, United States, that extends from north of Gibsland and travels south to Clarence.

The bayou meanders its way through Claiborne, Webster, Bienville, Red River and Natchitoches parishes.

Black Lake Bayou runs near the towns of Minden, Dubberly, Fryeburg, Gibsland, Mount Lebanon, Jamestown, Castor, Martin, and Ashland.

Nix Crossing is one of the widest and deepest parts of Black Lake Bayou.

In addition to the boat launch there was also an area of approximately one acre cleared and fenced with sheds, barbecue grills, and latrines.
