Nice looking museum. Another beautiful Texas state park. Looks like a fun place to take the family for an adventure.
It’s a nice park, we decided to make a day trip out of it. I’m glad we did and seeing the bald cypress trees all over the water were neat.
Looks like a really cool place! Those trees coming up from the water are really something! Thanks for posting this vid!
It’s a beautiful park and canoeing the lake was definitely a fun experience. Thanks for watching!
One of the interesting things about Caddo Lake is that it use to be the second largest port in Texas behind Galveston which is amazing considering how far it is from the coast. They had steamboat travel from New Orleans to Jefferson, Tx in which passengers, livestock and freight were shuttled between the Gulf of Mexico and Northeast Texas.
This video is cool to see! We spent one night here on our way through from Florida out west last year. We wished we could have stayed longer. The walk down to the boardwalk by the lake was so pretty.
Thanks you so much! We wished we spent more time here too. It’s a beautiful park and would love to canoed longer. We decided to check this one out since we drove to North Carolina. Did you guys get a chance to canoe/kayak?
@@MrSTravelQuest no we didn't get a chance to get on the water unfortunately as we were just there one quick evening on the way through. Sure would be neat though!
WOW, this park looks amazing. I could tell it was CCC from the entrance right before you said it. The museum looks so inviting, as well as the pavilion and the stairs. I'm super excited to visit this park now, thanks y'all.
This is a beautiful CCC park. I know your girls would love the museum. The cabins at the park are amazing as well. They take really good care of this park.
Incredibly well done family focused video. Wii definitely put this park on my bucket list. Thank you!!!
Thank you Mr. Gonzales, you and the family will love Caddo Lake SP.
Love your videos. Hitting every State Park is on my bucket list and your channel is a great resource.
Thank you so much! That’s our goal too! Visit all the parks and share the information. Which’s parks have you visited so far?
@@MrSTravelQuest At 15 so far, but really only got serious at the start of COVID. Have a 6 and 4 year old along for the ride as well. We’re in Waco (about 15 mins from Mother Neff SP) so we have a ton of parks within an hour or so.
But…Mother Neff, Whitney, Fort Parker, Meridian, McKinney Falls, CO Bend, Longhorn Cavern, Inks Lake, Mustang Island SP, Lake Corpus Christi, Dinosaur Valley, Enchanted Rock, Garner and Choke Canyon.
@@cgriesemer We love Mothneff State Park 😊! Y’all been to a few great parks so far. I’m still trying to visit all the DFW parks. My son favorite park is Dinosaur Valley State Park. We are visiting Mustang Island, Goose Island and Lake Corpus Christi this week 😃. I’m glad we have so many in Texas to visit.
We live close by … the gators are not to worry about
Great video
Thank you 😊, we loved canoeing at Caddo Lake. Wished we lived closer to the park. When’s the best time to see the gators? Looking to go back soon.
I paddled it in the 80's Wonderful.
It’s a gorgeous place to paddle.
Love the video, side note Caddo is pronounced like "cad-do" more like "cat-o" than "kate-o"
Very informative; thank you. Video was very nice too!
Thank you so much! We enjoy highlighting each park we visit. Thanks for watching!
Going here in march from Oklahoma. So excited
You won’t be disappointed! Hope y’all get to canoe the lake, it’s worth the $20 rental.
I want to see alligators, but not when I’m in a kayak or canoe. We were in alligator territory for so many months this year - no more🐊for awhile!
We seen some folks on inflatable kayaks on this lake. We were cool sitting in the Canoes. It’s definitely a unique experience inside a Texas State Park 😊
I actually have gone here every year since 2016, When I moved here.
It’s an amazing park, when’s your favorite time to visit? I’ve been thinking of checking it out again during the fall.
@@MrSTravelQuest Probably spring break.
Alligators… I’ll pass. 😆 I’m planning on going to Garner soon!
Best time to visit is during the fall. It’s a beautiful park and worth checking out.
Great video. We are looking at going there soon. Appreciate the tips. Did you have 2 canoes? We are 2 adults a 13 year old and a 7 year old. Can one person paddle a canoe alone? Thanks for your response. And I’m a new subscriber. Excellent content.
Thank you so much! You can rent the canoes by the hour. $10 for 1hr and $20 for 3hrs. You can canoe solo with no issue. When we went they had plenty of canoes to rent. Thanks for subscribing and hope to see you in the comments. Safe travels and happy hiking!
Loved this video!! I’ll have to go back with the family and do some trails. I’m not sure if I would get in a canoe though!!🤔
Thank you Mrs. Evans ! The trails were short and sweet. We enjoyed canoeing at this park, but kayaking idk 😂. The 🐊 stay pretty far from people, wished I had my zoom lens while on the water.
You’re welcome @@MrSTravelQuest!! That’s the kind of trails I like!! My 3 yr old would appreciate something short!! What’s the difference between kayaking and canoeing?
@@harperdm Your 3 yr old would love this park for sure. Most of the trails on paddling through the water.
Difference between Kayak and Canoe are
Kayaks sit closer to the water and has double bladed paddles.
Canoes are kinda like a boat with single sided paddle. The canoes at the park could fit 2 adults and 1 child easily.
Thanks for clearing that up for me@@MrSTravelQuest!!
@@harperdm anytime! Canoeing was a fun experience.
Going kayaking fishing hiking for 2-3 days
Nice! Your going to love it.
I grew up at caddo
Love Caddo Lake State Park. Did you fish or Kayak often at the park?
Heard things go bump in the night at that park yaherdme 👀
Is it safe to kayak or to do water activities since there are gators.? Please suggest. Thank you.
You can kayak and canoe safely. We seen some folks jet skiing on our visit.
Dang that water looked dark 🤨
Yeah I wouldn’t swim in it. I seen one guy fall off his tube, 😱 gators in the water.
How long do you recommend we should rent the kayak for? 1 hr? Or 3 hr?
I would recommend 3 hours. When we Canoed over the summer the hour went by fast.
@@MrSTravelQuest Thank you!
@@pennykamkourkong6076 you’re welcome! Safe travels and happy hiking!
Is this a good time to visit a park.?
It’s a perfect time to visit. It’s not too hot. It’s a great place to canoe.
@@MrSTravelQuest Thank you so much 😊
Alligators 🐊 🥴🥴🥴
I wish the bayous in houston were like this. I know they took all the trees out of the water.
Caddo Lake is something special. What’s some of your favorite parks in the Houston area?
Mr.S Travel Quest buffalo bayou and lake houston on the North East side you will hardly find trees in the water with fat trunks they are more smaller though.
@@comedine4759 Going to check those out this summer. We plan on visiting the Houston area this summer, can’t wait to check them out.
@@MrSTravelQuest i found a couple more lakes kind of like these in houston , Sheldon lake , and buckhorn lake im sure theres more near it
@@comedine4759 can’t wait to check them out this summer!
