An Uncertain Adventure
Caddo Lake, found deep in the heart of East Texas, is a unique swamp area filled with moss-covered Bald Cypress trees, abundant wildlife, and a remarkable ecosystem with rich biodiversity.
But for a few weeks in November, this special place transforms into a magical, mystical hideaway that offers some of the most beautiful fall colors the South has to offer. Pastel colors placed atop the gray bald cypress trees with perfectly still waters (and sometimes a layer of fog rising from the water) can create lasting memories and an amazing photography experience.
Your Workshop Guide
