Description

Located in the heart of Central Louisiana’s Four Rivers region, this 2± acre property on Bushley Bayou offers a rare opportunity to own a well-positioned fishing camp with direct access to a highly productive and lightly pressured waterbody. Situated in Catahoula Parish just north of Jonesville, the property combines waterfront access, functional improvements, and proximity to extensive public land and fisheries.

The camp is positioned on a spacious lot and includes a covered porch suitable for outdoor use throughout much of the year. A covered boat dock with a boat lift provides protected storage and quick access to the bayou. From the dock, owners can access miles of navigable water without the congestion commonly found on larger, more publicized fisheries.

Bushley Bayou, also locally referred to as Bursely or Brushley Bayou, is a smaller but highly diverse reservoir system historically connected to both the Ouachita and Little Rivers. While dammed on each end today, the bayou continues to serve as an irrigation and stormwater reservoir as part of the greater Red River backwater flood control system. Continuous creek flow and numerous tributaries supply fresh water, nutrients, and oxygenation, supporting a stable and productive fishery.

The northern portion of the bayou, near the dam separating it from the Ouachita River, is the most frequently fished area, though navigable water extends roughly five miles south through multiple forks and channels. These waters encompass several hundred acres of fishable habitat, including points, coves, laydowns, and sloping shorelines. Cypress-lined tributaries and drains provide additional structure and spawning areas, contributing to strong bass and crappie populations.

Much of the southern portion of the bayou flows through the Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge, adding long-term protection to the surrounding habitat. The nearby Brushley Bayou Unit of the refuge encompasses approximately 18,000 acres of public hunting land, offering opportunities for waterfowl, deer, and small game hunting within minutes of the property.

This property is well-suited for buyers seeking a dedicated fishing camp, a seasonal recreational base, or a low-maintenance waterfront holding in a proven outdoor recreation area. The combination of private waterfront, established improvements, nearby public land, and access to multiple waterways makes this a functional and versatile property in one of Central Louisiana’s most water-rich regions.
