About Lake Chicot
Set in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, Lake Chicot is a 1,159-acre reservoir.
We have not matched Lake Chicot to a public USGS level gauge, so this page leans on wind and weather from the National Weather Service forecast grid over the lake. If you know of a gauge or a dam operator that publishes levels, tell us and we will add it.
Mid-sized lakes like this one tend to have shifty, gusty wind near shore and steadier pressure in the middle, which is why gust spread matters as much as average speed.
The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
