About Calcasieu River
The Calcasieu River is a river on the Gulf Coast in southwestern Louisiana. Approximately 200 miles long, it drains a largely rural area of forests and bayou country, meandering southward to the Gulf of Mexico. The name "Calcasieu" comes from the Indian Atakapa language katkosh, for "eagle", and yok, "to cry".
