CADDO LAKE CYPRESS SWAMPS 2ND SESSION

Caddo Lake is a mystical place with a prehistoric feel. It’s more than a lake, it’s a wetland, it’s a swamp and home to the largest bald cypress forest in the world. Caddo lake borders both Texas and Louisiana. The Louisiana side has the open waters one might call a lake with scattered cypress trees rising out of the water but quickly changes to a maze of islands made up of cypress forests and dark waters as you approach the Texas border.

These islands of cypress trees with their hanging Spanish moss make for a magical journey as the summer turns to fall, covered in a palette of colorful warm hues. No place else on earth mirrors the adventure you will encounter through the narrow channels and dead ends filled with colorful cypress forests found on Caddo lake.
