Caddo Lake State Park – East Texas

#summervacay Caddo Lake feels like another world—swampy, mysterious, and utterly beautiful. I rented a canoe and glided through the cypress trees, their Spanish moss trailing into still water that reflected everything like a mirror. It’s quiet, a little eerie, but incredibly peaceful. I saw turtles, herons, and maybe even an alligator. The shaded trails were great for hiking afterward. It’s not your typical summer beach day—but it’s a deeply Texan experience with Southern soul. #summervacay
