History buffs would be remiss to never make a visit to Caddo lake on the Louisiana/Texas border near Shreveport.
First off, it s the largest Cypress forest in the world. And who knew that Cypress trees are some of the oldest species still in existence and they can live over three thousand years?
The lake is also home to paddlefish (we can them spoon-billed catfish) and these little rascals have been around three hundred to four hundred MILLION years. Even longer than dinosaurs existed.
Even the very beginning of Caddo Lake sparks the imagination of those historical minds. Named for the native Americans, the Caddoans, legend has it that Caddo Lake was formed in the 1700 s by an earthquake. Supposedly it was the same earthquake that caused the great Red River log jam.
