LA 9. Spanish Lake. Acreage: 700 estimated. 



Location: Iberville Parish; Baton Rouge Quadrangle; about 14 miles SE of 

 Baton Rouge; reached via Rt. 42. 



Description: An outstanding cypress swamp with large trees. The land adjacent 

 to the lake area also has some rather large trees. Some of these trees are dead; 

 all were so defective that they were not cut when the area was logged some 50 

 years ago. The lake is too shallow for an outboard part of the year. 



Encroachments: Recent drainage canals have resulted in lowering the lake level. 

 The new interstate highway may pass close by. 



Ownership: Not reported. 



Data source: Clair A. Brown, 1 180 Stanford Ave., Baton Rouge, La. 70803.
