'''Lake Claiborne''' is a [[reservoir]] located near the town of [[Homer, Louisiana]]. Isolated in a rural area, it is a popular man-made fishing area that has a combined estimated area of {{convert|6400|acre|km2|0}}.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Office of State Parks - Teacher's Guide|publisher=Louisiana State Parks|year=2002}}</ref> [[Lake Claiborne State Park]], a [[Louisiana]] state maintained camping and recreation area, lies on southern shore of the lake. |

The lake was created by the construction of '''Clairborne Lock and Dam''' by the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers]] in 1970. The lock is for water management and navigation; no hydroelectric power is produced here.<ref>http://corpslakes.usace.army.mil/visitors/projects.cfm?Id=K503390</ref> |
