Prien Lake is a lake that is connected to the Calcasieu River, which flows through the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana (USA). The Interstate 210 bridge crosses over the lake, which is just southwest of Lake Charles. The lake is home to a small beach near Interstate 10. L'Auberge du Lac is nearby, as well as Prien Lake Park.
Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
