During
the French and Spanish colonial period, 1714-1803. This Bayou
emptied into the Red River, now Cane River Lake. It was the rendezvous
when the river trade from New Orleans met the pack animal trains from old
Mexico. 
Because
of many mules usually tied up along its banks, the stream was named Bayou
"A mule" on early maps.... Later changes to Bayou Amulet.
Bayou Amulet was the main drainage canal for Red River from Loc terre
noire, now Sibley Lake.
Although the terrain has changed somewhat since
those days, the beauty and mysterious ambiance prevails. |
