Caddo Lake State Park

Caddo Lake State Park
Karnack, Texas
March 2012

This is pretty neat park located on Caddo Lake.   Caddo lake is the largest natural lake in Texas.   The park has 10 cabins and 65 RV spots.   Eight of the sites are pull thrus   The sites are in good shape.  Nice level pads with lots of space and shade.   We stayed in the Squirrel Haven Loop which was a short walk / bike ride to the Saw Mill Pond.  

We rented canoes and kayaks and played around in the pond area.   No swimming is allowed because of the alligators.   We also booked a pontoon boat ride tour out to the Big Cypress Bayou.   We were a little disappointed the tour stopped short of going out to the main part of the lake.   Next time we would of toured the lake with another guide outside of the park.   We've heard that there are steamboats that still tour the main lake.

We did enjoy all of the history behind this park and area.

We give this park a 8.5 out of 10.

PROS
Good sites
Canoe & Kayak rentals
Bayou Tours
Cool History

CONS
Tour didn't do main part of the lake.
