Paddle Through The World’s Largest Cypress Forest Hiding In Deep East Texas
We’ve talked at length about Caddo Lake, and for good reason. Not every state is blessed with such an amazing natural wonder, and you can explore the majestic, wooded landscape firsthand by renting a kayak from Ole Mossy’s Up River. Offering excursions on Big Cypress Bayou, a little-known and especially scenic portion of the lake, Ole Mossy’s lets you experience the world’s largest cypress forest like never before.
The lake spans 26,000 acres and imparts a haunting beauty that words can't even begin to describe.
If you don't have your own kayak or prefer the ease of renting, Ole Mossy's Up River lets you embark on a paddling adventure that showcases the Caddo Lake area in a wholly new, wondrous way.
Prepare to be awestruck as you make your way through the wispy trees dripping with Spanish moss and gently swaying back and forth in the breeze.
Leading your own expedition is fun and all, but sometimes, it's nice to just kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Peak color is often achieved in November, so definitely try to plan a trip around that time!
The story may or may not have any merit, but it sure makes for an interesting experience!
Tour hours are 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily.
