Come take a journey into the far Outback of Texas. Caddo Lake is the largest natural lake in Texas. As you explore the lake you can marvel at God's creations seeming untouched by the outside world.

Notice: Due to the US Coast Guard recently taking federal jurisdiction over much of Caddo Lake / Big Cypress Bayou and requiring that all guides obtain a US Coast Guards Captains License we have made changes to our business. I have decided that I am not going through all the effort, schooling and money to get this license. I do have a option to be able to take tours out in the Carter's Lake area because they have not as of date declared this area under federal jurisdiction. Tours will be very limited now due to the logistics and our focus will be more towards getting our new campsites and boat rental business up and going. To my loyal customers to whom we have become friends over the years, "you know who you are" let me know when you want to go out and I will will either give you information on where to meet me at the departure site on Carter's Lake or I will just say come on down to the cabin and I will take out for free. The Coast Guard says anyone that carries people out for compensation on waters that they designate as under their federal jurisdiction must have a US Coast Guards Captains License. To my friends, they can't say a thing if I take you out for free!

A NOTE FROM THE OWNER: Growing up here on Caddo Lake and spending my youth and most of my life exploring this beautiful place has given me a certain appreciation for this unique and special place I call home, Caddo Lake. It is my goal to give you the most pleasurable experience possible and provide you a personal and intimate experience of Caddo Lake that you will always remember. Come experience a place that time has seemed to have forgotten. A place with such beauty words or pictures can hardly depict what you will witness if you see it in person. I look forward to seeing you.
