The place

The Day-Use Area which includes the swim beach and picnic tables are CLOSED to the public from Labor Day until Mother's Day, 2025. The group pavilion may be rented throughout the year, despite the rest of the day-use area being closed. To reserve the group pavilion, please call the Calcasieu Ranger District office at (318) 793-9427. The campgrounds at Kincaid Lake are currently closed as a result of hurricane damage. Reconstruction is almost complete. Enlarged campsites, new asphalt roads, water lines, sewer lines, electric lines, curbing, steps, lantern holders, and fire rings are all part of the renovation.
