Black Lake Bayou is a 105-mile-long (169 km)[1] waterway in northwest Louisiana, United States, that extends from north of Gibsland and travels south to Clarence. The watershed covers much of northwest Louisiana. The bayou meanders its way through Claiborne, Webster, Bienville, Red River and Natchitoches parishes.[2] Black Lake Bayou empties into Black Lake, which drains to Saline Bayou, a tributary of the Red River.

Black Lake Bayou runs near the towns of Minden, Dubberly, Fryeburg, Gibsland, Mount Lebanon, Jamestown, Castor, Martin, and Ashland. Kepler Lake is also a part of the Black Lake Bayou watershed.[3] Black Lake Bayou runs underneath Louisiana Highways 154, 156, 531, 792, 4, 507, and 155.
