A NOTE FROM YOUR TOUR GUIDE 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. For me, seeing Caddo through other's eyes as they experience the best nature has to offer is a pleasure and very rewarding, I think I must have the best job in the world! I invite you to come take a guided tour of Caddo Lake and 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 am so sure you will enjoy the experience that I tell all my customers, don't pay for the tour until it's over and if you don't like the tour you don't have to pay. I look forward to seeing you.
