Cotile Lake is a man-made impoundment located in the uplands approximately 15 miles west northwest of Alexandria, Louisiana.  The lake is approximately 1,775 acres in size and was completed in October 1965.  The Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission stocked this impoundment with the proper species and number of game fish in 1965-66 shortly after its completion date.

The recreational facilities on Cotile Lake are among the finest in Central Louisiana.  There is a large area cleared and zoned for swimming with complete bath house facilities nearby.  There is a water skiing area that is cleared and snagged for safety of the skiers.  The picnic and camping areas are modern and complete.   There is also space available for campers.

Cotile Lake is very popular among groups of campers or campers traveling in caravans.
