Washington Parish, Louisiana (KPEL-FM) - When it comes to Summertime in Louisiana, we start spending time at Louisiana's fantastic lakes and beaches.

What if I told you there's been a secret, private Louisiana lake is so crystal clear it's hard to believe it's in Louisiana?

This incredible lake has been a private one...until now.

For the first time ever, this amazing Louisiana lake is now open to the public.

But there are a few important things you need to know about it.

Lake Isabel Farm Louisiana

Lake Isabel Farm, a 422-acre farm in Washington Parish located at 54254 Cavenham Road, Bogalusa, Louisiana, has been one of Louisiana's best kept secrets, until now.

The reason it's been such a secret is because, up until now, it's been a private paradise, not open to the public.

Super white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue water aren't things you'd ever expect to experience in Louisiana, but yet here we are.

The area is tailor-made for laid-back summer afternoons. Guests can kayak across the spring-fed water, dive off the platform, or stretch out in one of the solar-powered cabanas that come with fans, comfortable seating, and large ice chests.
