Things to do on the Lake

• At 27,500 acres of lake, river, swamp and sloughs, you could spend a lifetime here and not see everything! (we're still learning after our combined 60+ years her)  Caddo has 250+ species of birds, over 70 species of fish, +amphibians and reptiles, galore.

• We are just a mile or so from the 7400 acre Caddo Lake Wildlife Management Acre (WMA) where deer, ducks and squirrels abound.

• The Caddo Lake national Wildlife Refuge(8500 acre) is located in Karnack about 20 minutes southwest of us.  Currently under development, it will offer Equestrian trails, Mountain biking and hiking trails as well as birding and seasonal hunting opportunities.

• Most of Caddo Lake is a Ramsar site of international importance.  This designation means Caddo is a critically important ecosystem for aquatic life and migratory birds.  How critically important you might ask?  We are one of only 20 sites in the United States to be so designated!!! 

Things to do.. Not on the Lake
