Turtle beach lodge is an amazing place to escape to. Me and my husband came here for the weekend. We rented the cabin and a bass boat for our stay. Mr. Branch runs the place and is wonderful. All our expectations were met and we even stayed an extra day. We will definately be coming back!

My last visit to the area was about 2010 and I couldn't believe how much the boat launch area had changed. I spent an enormous amount of my childhood summer's, some spring and falls in the 80s up to the late 90s with my family. The muddy brown building with a split area for BBQing and a swing and an outdoor shed a few feet away was built for Baker Manufacturing (Pineville, LA). Mr. (Jim) Baker was a great man who let his salaried employees and their families use the facilities throughout the year. I don't know who owns the property now. Per Google Maps, the area has changed some. Back in the day, there were no street signs . The road was wide enough for two vehicles passing. The "sea wall" near the boat launch was nice and kept up. At the boat launch was a gray building you could stand on to cast off or sit and catch the usual fish. I seem to recall there were tires along the lower part of building. And off to the right there were no cypress trees. The lake's levels were much higher than today. I faintly remember the old man Harry Branch who operated the launch area. He was a heavy smoker. He has a son who I believe took over the biz after his dad passed. Did he pass away in recent years too? Who's running the area now? What happened to the small rooms that were rented out near the sea wall? Many wonderful memories through the years here we made. Across the road from the Baker's Toledo Bend Lodge was an elderly gentleman (Mr. Fred) who grew fruits and vegetables in the 80s to early 90s. He was very nice and always wanted to share his crops with us. Looks like whoever bought his property destroyed the vast garden he built . Despite very low water levels, this place was always very peaceful and quiet. Does the lodge still have 60s aesthetic yellow trimmed furniture? Big box TV in the living room corner? How about the pool table? I'd like to visit again one day but have no interest in getting in a boat.
