Canoe Caddo Lake's Majestic Cypress Swamps

Enchanting scenery, memorable hikes, and welcoming rangers. I had an amazing time canoeing at Caddo Lake—a truly unique ecosystem! The experience was enhanced by the stunning bald cypress trees and Spanish moss, and the park rangers were extremely helpful, guiding me to the best spots for photos. I highly recommend checking it out if you're a nature lover or photography enthusiast. Looking forward to returning soon! 🌿 Pros: - age inclusive activities - easy to navigate - well-maintained campsites - friendly staff - affordable fun - great biodiversity - canoes are sturdy - clean indoor restrooms - water at ranger station Cons: - The location of campsites can make it difficult to get a fully natural picture of the shoreline trees, but there are still many amazing photo opportunities on the lake.

Wonderful Campground with huge cypress trees and fishing piers extending out into Sawmill pond. Good fishing. Good bike riding

Staff was great! Shout out to Suzanne who was awesome! Campground had nice sites and fantastic bathroom facilities. The canoeing was good in Saw Mill Pond - see the beaver lodge- but the Bayou was filled with motor boats so 1/2 mile out and back was enough. Other canoe trails on the Bayou are nearby and might be much better. Small park all-in-all; only 2.5 miles of hiking but lots to do in the area.

Had a great time! I was greeted by 2 park rangers that had a couple of tables set up for the park’s 90th anniversary. They were friendly and informative about the animals at the park. Put in kayaks at the boat ramp. Gorgeous scenery.

Beautiful park builtin the depression era by CCC and WPA crews who just wanted to work. The did an amazing job. These log cabins start about $75 a night but are just fantastic. The paths and stone steps laid about almost 100 years ago show wat pride in workmanship means. Too bad the invasive species in the water make it difficult to easily enjoy the bayou. The gatehouse where you must stop to enter the park has an excellent little shop. I was just there to get a Texas State Park Pass but took the time to drive all through the park on my motorcycle it was such a great fall day. Watch that first hill headed down to the water! Lol
