Lake Charles is a brackish lake located on the Calcasieu River in Southwest Louisiana, United States, just behind the western tier of the City of Lake Charles' city limits. There is a deep channel along the western side (from which flows the Calcasieu River) for large ships to pass. Overhead is the Calcasieu River Bridge.
