Caddo Lake is considered to be one of the most beautiful fairy-tale places In the United States. The area of this lake occupies about 10 hectares. It is noteworthy that majestic cypress trees are growing there directly out of the water. This unique cypress forest is the largest in the world. The age of the trees is several hundred years. Surprisingly, the formation of a unique natural landscape is contributed to the human factor, or, if more precisely - to a discharged waste.
Once, there was the Red River on this site. Local residents dumped it with lots of various waste. Beavers built a dam of this litter, which eventually completely blocked the rapid river. Hence, a large beautiful lake with a special fauna formed there. Caddo Lake is not that deep; in rare places its depth exceeds 1 meter. The water is remarkably clean and clear. Besides huge cypress trees, rare Indian lotuses and water lilies grow at the lake. You can enjoy the beauty of this plants for ages.
