Caddo Lake, located on the Texas-Louisiana border, has a rich history steeped in both natural and cultural significance. It was originally formed by the Great Raft, a massive logjam that blocked the Red River in the early 19th century, causing the backflow that created the lake. The lake takes its name from the Caddo Nation, a Native American tribe that lived in the region for centuries before European settlers arrived. Over time, Caddo Lake became an important hub for steamboat travel and commerce in the 19th century, and today, it remains a vital ecosystem, renowned for its hauntingly beautiful cypress swamps and diverse wildlife.
