But this Friday night they had a live band playing out back which is kind of the point of the EBM whole group of businesses. Good music. Then someone turns on some rapid pop/rock/rap crap in the bar and blasts it loud enough to almost drown out the live music, but mostly just make them step all over each other so it's loud enough to make it impossible to understand either. Look, I get it ... loud music at a bar Friday night. This was effing awful and I won't be back. And if the other EBM businesses do this crap I won't be back there either. I really enjoyed Frozen Perogue and the other places look good. But the ear pollution of competing music at Bayou Axe Throwing ruined the whole thing.

The ethereal beauty of Caddo Lake, with all its bald cypress trees dripping with Spanish moss, is…read morehaunting and remarkable to say the least. Autumn is a popular time to visit as the cypress needles turn a deep rust color, making for a striking contrast against the dark trunks and silver moss.  But my favorite has always been winter when the trees have gone dormant. They lose all their needles, causing the steely, eerie mosses to take on a ghostly glow when the sun is low, clashing drastically with the shadowy trunks and murky swamp waters. It's dramatic, it's spooky, and it stays with you long after you leave. The trees have "knees" in this swampy bayou ecosystem - they are actually part of the root system and their minion-like appearance as they surround the trees adds to the creepiness of it all.  And did you know that the Spanish moss isn't moss or lichen? It's actually in the same family as pineapple (they're both bromeliads) and they even bloom!  These murky waters and creepy forests are home to so much wildlife - including Bigfoot apparently lol! There are many sightings reported and they hold festivals here.  On my last visit, I saw so many birds, including several bald eagles and an osprey doing a high dive off a cypress to catch his lunch. There are over 75 species of fish in these waters, as well as alligators, though I've never seen any floating around - probably too cold when I visit. The lake itself spans over 25,000 acres and straddles the border between east Texas and Louisiana - and the bald cypress trees are the state tree of Louisiana. It's the only natural lake in Texas and the largest. I was born and raised in these swampy lowlands - and Caddo Lake is, by far, the gem of the region. My favorite spot on the lake to rent a boat or take a cruise is Johnson Ranch Marina - the oldest inland marina in Texas. They have wonderful captains on call to take you out when the light is right for photography and they run regular trips throughout the day as well. They also offer canoe and kayak rentals.  In the surrounding area you'll find Caddo Lake state park which is excellent for hiking and they also rent canoes but you can only access Big Cypress Bayou and not get out into the main lake since it's further out. There's also a wildlife management area owned by The Nature Conservancy that offers hiking as well. Not to mention tons of campgrounds in the state park and surrounding areas (privately owned) with tent sites and cabins too. If you're at all into nature and the great outdoors and water sports of all sorts - this is a perfect family friendly location for you.

This is a real gem of a lake an is actually the only naturally formed lake in Texas.; it was formed…read moreby a large log jam in the 1700's. The lake is known for it's thick groves of bald cypress trees with huge trunks at the base near the water and lace like green needles that turn bright orange in the fall. The lake is split between Texas and Louisiana with the more open area of the lake on the Louisiana side. There are many canals and winding waterways within the cypress groves so it's best to go out with a guide who knows the lake. In the fall when the trees turn orange, photographers from all over the world come to take pictures of the beautiful lake. This was the reason my wife and I went to see the lake. While I am not a fisherman, I've heard it is a good lake for fishing and has catfish, perch, bass and crappy. Be forewarned, like many of the lakes in Texas and Louisiana there are a lot of alligators in the water so only swim in designated places. There are several towns on the lake, Uncertain Texas, and in Louisiana there is Morningsport and Oil City. The town of Jefferson, Texas is nearby as is the Caddo Lake State Park.

PARKING AND PICNICKING We found ample free parking by the science/discovery and visitor center directly across the street from the park. We also found a row of colorful, mosaic picnic tables to eat at. We enjoyed having the entire park mostly to ourselves on a chilly Sunday in January around 3:30pm. TRASH BINS AND RESTROOMS There was a trash bin nearby to dispose of our takeout packaging. All restrooms were locked - either for the season or due to COVID. Thankfully, our friends were able to use the restrooms at the Science center. While they did so, my partner and I took a post-linner walk to check out the views and take a few photos - it being our first visit to Shreveport. WHAT'S THERE? It was nice to be by the water. We saw a Casino boat, dilapidated boat tour dock, a couple of rustic bridges, a nice amphitheater, stage, and event area, a memorial, a tiered fountain, some nice plantings - this must be a really happening place for live concerts in non-COVID times! WHAT TO DO We noticed one couple getting frisky in the cold and one girl walking her dog. It was a pretty quiet, peaceful place for a picnic, a walk, a workout, or a date. I recommend a visit if ever you find yourself in Shreveport!
