Lake Bruin State Park , one of the twenty-two Louisiana state parks, is located on Lake Bruin, a caustic livestock lake on the Mississippi River near St. Louis. Joseph, the center of Tensas Parish in the northeastern portion of the country. The lake consists of more than 3,000 hectares (12 km ²) from the water surface. Visitors to the park enjoy fishing, water sports, and camping. There are cypress trees on the lake that had stood since before Hernandio de Soto, a Spaniard, roamed the area in the 1540s. The 53-acre park (210,000 m 2 ) was founded in 1928 as a hatchery for fish. On July 10, 1956, Governor Earl Kemp Long signed a law authorizing the construction of the park. Originally called Lake Bruin Wayside Park, the name was later converted into Lake Bruin State Park. Two weeks later, the law was signed to obtain land for the park, long promoted by the State Representative J.C Seaman Waterproof.
The park has twenty-five campsites repaired, all with water, electricity, picnic tables, and a wheelchair-accessible bath. There is also a primitive camping area for tents. The park has three fishing docks, year-round boat launches, and a warehouse to install boat docks. Boat rental is also available. Big mouth bass is captured throughout the year, with the major months being April-June and September and October. Crappie or white perch is taken in early spring. The bluegill fish is the best in shallow waters at each end of the lake.
