The average depth of the lake is approximately five feet, and there is a deep channel down the middle for large ships to pass. Overhead is the I-10 bridge, from which 17 people have jumped to their deaths.
The
name Calcasieu comes from the Atakapan word, "quelqueshue", meaning
"crying eagle". It was originally the name of an Atakapa chief, but
became the name given to what was formerly the Rio Hondo River (Rio Stondo or
"Deep River"), now the Calcasieu River. The parish then inherited this
name.
