Well, I thought I'd post a few pic's of our recent weekend trip to Caddo Lake.

I didn't get to take as many pic's as I would have liked to, but I was paddling stern and navigating as the lead canoe.

Navigating the swamp is pretty straight forward as there are marked trails, referred to as 'boat roads'. The trick is making sure you don't miss a turn coming down the river channel and end up taking a "detour".

I plan on doing this trip again in either the fall or spring when it is cooler and we have more time. You can rent canoes in the park, Caddo Lake State Park, for $30/day plus tax. Several groups canoe out on Friday night to Goat Island and spend the day exploring and paddle back on Sunday. The park office has navigation maps of the lake and I would highly recommend getting one. If you have the map, you can really spend some time exploring the different "trails".
