Feeling the need to do something summer we headed out to Caddo lake to rent a canoe and paddle for the afternoon. Uncertain Tx was our destination a town about an hour from Kilgore on the LA border.
There are two boat/ cabin rental places in Uncertain, Crips and Johnson, both within a mile of each-other and both easily found from the flea market. Crips was closed for lunch so we rented from Johnson and with no fanfare we had slightly misfitted paddles and a canoe that had seen its better day but would get the job done.
Caddo lake has a fairly high level of motor boat traffic along the open waterways. The lake is more like a swamp in many areas but once you get off the main ways its truly stunning, however the invasive plant that is taking over the lake gets a bit dense at times really slowing down your progress. We stayed fairly close to Johnsons and next time we might try starting at a different location but loved the overall experience.
