A small canal in Cypress Bend Park, as seen Thursday, Sept 25, 2025, provides a peak at the park cottages, foreground, and the homes, background, that line portions of Toledo Bend Reservoir. The 181,600-acre manmade lake in western Louisiana has become home to beautiful camps along the water. A proposal to sell water from the lake has owners of those homes concerned. State officials say they don’t believe the withdrawals will have a small impact that can be managed.
