Nestled in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Lake St. John is a tranquil oxbow lake where time slows down, and Southern charm runs deep. Spanning 3,000 acres of cypress-dotted waters, this hidden retreat offers a rustic escape for anglers, nature lovers, and anyone craving a taste of old-school Louisiana.

Our Story

Formed by the meandering Mississippi River centuries ago, Lake St. John has long been a sanctuary for fishermen, storytellers, and sunset chasers. Here, the fish bite deep, the breezes blow easy, and the only rush hour is the herons skimming the water at dawn.

Why Visit?

• Fish Like a Local: Drop a line for trophy bass and crappie—our waters are legendary.

• Unplug & Unwind: Stay in a weathered waterfront cabin or roll up in an RV. Porch sittin’ is encouraged at Lake St John Lodge.

• Delta Flavors: Enjoy cold drinks at Dockrockers (home of the infamous Darquarie), this is soul-food country.

• Music & History: Ferriday, just minutes away, birthed blues and rock ‘n’ roll legends. Tap your foot at the Delta Music Museum.

The Dockrockers Vibe

A lakeside institution where the planks creak and the drinks are strong. Swing by for:

• The Darquarie: Our signature spin on a Delta classic—best enjoyed with a side of fish tales.

• Live Tunes: Fiddle, blues, or a jukebox humming with Jerry Lee Lewis.

• Sunset Views: The kind that makes you linger till the fireflies come out.

Come as you are. Leave a little more relaxed.
