Lighthouse
Bar and Grill, Excellent food and a good selection of beer and
wine. Entertainment includes a juke box and pool tables. Open 7
days per week from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Friendly folks! Big Pines
Lodge, a waterside
restaurant with typical Caddo Lake fare. Originally built in the
1940's, it is a traditional stop for those who come often to Caddo
Lake. Closed Monday and Tuesday. It's a great place for large groups
of people. Shady

hamburgers are delicious. Go west on FM-2198, cross over Hwy 43,
and you will see Circle S on your left. They also sell gasoline. Aseret

amazing guitar for visitors. Tim

guide on Caddo and knows all about fish, including how to fry them
just right.
201 West Austin ST. Jefferson, Texas 903 601-4446.
Things To Do A boat tour is a must. Caddo is great to see from the banks, but to really see, feel and absorb Caddo, get in a boat. Boat tours are available at Johnson's Ranch Marina and Shady Glade Marina. Johnson's
Ranch Marina is
a must. In operation for over 100 years, it is the oldest inland
marina in Texas. Spatterdock recommends these special tours: Mudport:
Charming and witty Capt. Danny Sullivan, escorts you on a Caddo
Lake excursion like no other. A highly skilled boatsman, Danny will
astound you with his ability to navigate and his knowledge of this
fascinating lake. His tour is a "Make Memory" trip. See
YouTube videos on Spatterdock Home Page. (Danny does dockside pickups.) Creek'n
Tree Backwater Tours: With over 50 years on Caddo Lake, Capt.
Steve Sullivan specializes in showing you God's amazing Creation
that is the backwaters of Caddo Lake. This tour will take you to
places on the lake where most boats either can't go or don't know
about. (Dockside pick-ups available.) contact Capt. Steve at
832-259-1797 National
Wildlife Refuge,
once an army ordinance plant, has miles of woodland roads to explore
on foot, horseback or in a vehicle. Caddo
Lake State Park,
a beautiful park with hilly terrain. Built by Civilian Conservation,
rock structures remain. There is a fee to drive through the park.
Located off of FM-2198. Memaw's
Tee Shirt and Souvenir Shop,
quality gifts, including pottery, tee-shirts, caps, book by local
writers and much more. Beer's Field Cemetery, on Mound Pond Road. A quirky little cemetery where local folks are laid to rest. Taylor Island Volkswagens, enjoy the repurposed mosaic VWs on Bois d Arc and North Mossy Brake Drive. Stop in at Wildfern, home of Dottie Carter, and walk to the right of the house to enjoy the garden and the "Bigfoot Walked Here" trail. Jefferson, TX, an historic town with nice shops and eateries and activities for both young and old. Jefferson is about 16 east on Hwy 134. Recommended --- Kitt's Kornbread Sandwich and Pie Bar and the Austin Street Bistro. These are two of many good places to eat in Jefferson. Shopping for cool clothes, Made in The Shade on Austin Street. Marshall, TX, 16 miles south on Hwy 43, has breathed life into it's main street. Try a lunch at Central Perks, in the renovated Weisman building. Marshall has 3 fine museums: Railroad Museum, Michelson Art Museum and Old County Courthouse Museum. T.C. Lindsey and Company, an old country mercantile that has been in operation for over 100 years (a step back in time). Great place to visit. There is also an Alligator Farm in Waskom. It has activities for kids.
