🇺🇸 Autumn Escape near Houston | Caddo Lake Adventure 🍁🚤

Escape the city and immerse yourself in the magical cypress swamp of Caddo Lake—the largest natural freshwater lake in the South, straddling Texas-Louisiana! 📍 Trip Details 🚗 4-hour drive from Houston (perfect weekend getaway!) 📅 Best time to visit: Late Oct - Early Nov (peak fall colors!) 🚤 Must-Do: Swamp Boat Tour We booked with Mossy Brake Camp (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️): $40/person for a 2-hour sunset tour (5:15 PM slot) Small group (8-9 people), super informative captain! Pro tip: Book early—sunset tours sell out fast! 🏨 Where to Stay Opted for Marshall, TX (30 mins from the lake): Coz hotels + great local dining (no sketchy Airbnbs!) Food rec: Mighty Crab—try their alligator meat (tastes like fish-chicken hybrid!) 🦞🐊 🍂 Fall Foliage Alert Leaves are just starting to turn (full color expected soon!). Bundle up—it gets chilly on the water after sunset! #TexasTravel #FallVibes #SwampLife #HoustonWeekend
