The Brooks Brothers have been leading almost
annual trips to Caddo Lake since 1978. We generally
have enough boats, ice chests and lawn chairs.
Now, this is 'roughing it'! |
Imagine hiking through a forest... but in canoes and kayaks ! Visit Goat Island, Black Lake, Whistleberry Slough, Eagle's Nest, Turtle Shell and my personal favorite, Old Folks Playground. |

Bob Brooks: Sometimes just getting the boats to the lake was quite an adventure. |
Bill Brooks: I don't believe in the Creature from the Black Lagoon, but if it exists, it is in Caddo Lake. (beware the 'SPLASHERS' ) |

The Largest flotilla to date was put on the water on the 1996 trip: 13 boats ! |
Our favorite launch point was a private camp on the western-most end of the lake. |
|
|
| New to our group in '96 were the Reichel family. | 13 boats somtimes make quite a traffic jam ! |

You can see all sorts of strange creatures hiding in the trees. (Bob, Kathleen Brooks and dog, Dylan) |
