East Texas swamp beauty. No, really!
I’ve always thought of east Texas as a humid, mosquito-infested, muddy swamp full of frogs. I’ve never been a fan of frogs, with the exception of Kermit (of course). I live in constant fear that they will jump on me and that their slimy skin will touch mine. It’s irrational, I know, but I was willing to set aside my fear, think of Kermit and travel to Caddo Lake in east Texas.
I arrived at Caddo Lake State Park late in the afternoon on a Tuesday and had the place to myself.
The park has several options for accommodations. I rented a two-person cabin that was very comfortable and clean, perfect if you’re not a big camper or you plan to spend time in a Texas state park in August, or if you live in constant fear of frogs.
After unloading the car, I took a drive around the park with my camera to see what there was to see. This was my first view of the lake. What a beauty!
