Caddo Lake State Park Karnack, Texas - Texas Hiking Trails Video 3
This is the third in a series of videos about Caddo Lake State Park, Texas. In this episode we explore the hiking trails. This is a fun park to hike. Texas hiking can be a little flat and boring, there is just enough challenge at Caddo Lake State Park to make the experience memorable. Hiking the trails and spotting the artifacts the civilian conservation corps left behind should be a part of any Caddo Lake Tour. This place is on our Real Texas recommended list as a must see.
Caddo Lake is located in far east texas and far Northwestern Louisiana. The lake actually straddles the border. The state park was built in the depression era by the Civilian Conservation Corps and their legacy is seen everywhere in the park. There are several intact structures that they left behind.
Caddo Lake is the largest cypress swamp in the south and possibly the largest in the United States. Caddo Lake is also the only Natural lake in the state of Texas. There are backwaters, bayous and sloughs to explore, everywhere. This video is simply a drive to and through the park to our campsite, later videos we will explore the trails and CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) built structures. We will also explore the waters out in the bayou, as well as, in the swamps and ponds. Caddo Lake State Park, Texas is one of the most picturesque parks we have been to, second only to Enchanted Rock. WE will have to go back when there is a little more green color in the cypress trees.
