One of the largest freshwater lakes in Texas, Caddo Lake is so big it spills over into Louisiana. This 25,400-acre lake was first created by a cataclysmic log jam that formed over centuries, dubbed the Great Raft. We’re visiting the Texas side of Caddo Lake along with our friend here, a great blue heron. Other creatures share this labyrinth of flooded cypress forests, including numerous species of bass (good for fishing); turtles, armadillos, and frogs (good for photographing); and snakes and alligators (good for avoiding).
