Exploring And Sightseeing The Swamps

Its hard to see much of Caddo Lake from shore but going by boat can take you into the most beautiful locations on Caddo. If you are into birding or photography, or just exploring, a canoe or kayak makes for a great way to view the many birds and wildlife here on Caddo Lake. There is nothing like gliding quietly through the backwaters and swamps of Caddo Lake in a canoe or kayak to afford you the best chances to witness the wildlife that abounds in this beautiful and one of a kind place, Caddo Lake!

Whether you're a Photographer, Bird-Watcher or a Naturalist, or just someone that simply loves the beauty of nature Caddo Lake has something to offer.

Having a dear friend of mine, ( Leroy Williamson retired chief photographer Texas Parks & Wildlife ) introduce me to photography years ago, I can assure you from my experience shooting Caddo lake that it has some of the most beautiful scenery to be found anywhere. Whether you are into landscape, wildlife, reflections, shadows or colors Caddo Lake has something to offer the photographer. Call us for more information on how you can get out on Caddo and shoot some the best images you could imagine.

Alligators

This alligator ( I call her Lady ) is a large 12' female alligator that I and my customers have viewed many times over the years. She is getting old now and doesn't show herself as often but if luck is with us maybe you can see her and witness what I consider one of the greatest creatures on Caddo Lake!

Viewing alligators in the daytime is difficult here on Caddo. The gators tend to shy away from humans when they hear a boat coming and most often they will just go under and wait for you to leave. Night time is by far better for seeing gators. For one, they are nocturnal by nature and thats when they feed. Secondly, they aren't as skittish at night and they don't perceive the light we shine as being as big of threat. Thirdly, with a spot light you can spot one a long ways away because their eyes glow really good when you shine a light at them. Guess what has bright red eyes when you shine a light at it? Yep the alligator.
