Caddo Lake has been described in many ways, with "beautiful" being the most
widely used word. View our photo gallery and slide show to see a sample of the
beauty that Caddo Lake has to offer. Virtually everyone who has ever been to
Caddo lake will tell you that one word is not enough to describe this lake. Caddo
Lake is so much more! Mystifying and mystical, enchanting and delightful,
definitely prehistoric, uniquely haunting and eerie. The list of descriptions is long
and ever changing, as is Caddo Lake.
Caddo Lake is renowned for its sheer beauty and tranquillity. The Graceful Ghost slips along the still water of Caddo Lake providing a most delightful cruise experience for all guests. Dallas Morning News journalist Steve Blow described it's effect on him in an article for Dallas Magazine: There are plenty of pretty spots scattered about East Texas. Pretty and predictable. But one is mystical. Caddo Lake is unlike any place you have ever been. Caddo Lake is 35,000 acres of sloughs, bayous, swamp and cypress trees. 'A huge water forest', one friend described it.
"Yet - I swear it's true - there is something even beyond its eerie beauty. In the upper recesses of Caddo, you can feel the hand of the supernatural. It tickles at the back of your neck and draws your boat along. Something dark and primeval pervades Caddo. A timelessness. As you move slowly along the lake, you half expect a prehistoric creature to raise it's head from the murky water." |
