Shreveport Yacht Club

The Shreveport Yacht Club is located on the south shore of beautiful Cross Lake in Shreveport, Louisiana. Cross Lake covers approximately 8,576 acres and has 70 plus miles of shoreline. The lake provides the water supply for the City of Shreveport. Bald cypress trees line the banks and the lake is popular for recreational boating, fishing and hunting.Established in 1927 as the Shreveport Boat Club, the Club is proud to be part of the long and rich history of the city of Shreveport. Cross Lake was impounded in 1926 by the construction of a concrete dam on the right of way of the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The Club was established just one year after the impoundment of Cross Lake; became incorporated in 1937, and changed its name to the Shreveport Yacht Club in 1948.
