There are three distinct lakes that allow motorized boats: Black Creek Lake, Coffee Mill Lake, and East Lake Crockett. There are also countless ponds to explore by nonmotorized boat, as well!
Cast a line at any of the lakes or ponds within the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands. Find peace at Clear Lake, West Lake Crockett, East Lake Crockett, Coffee Mill Lake, or Black Creek Lake; the last three allow motorized boats, as well!
A complex network of loops throughout the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands make the park a premier hiking destination in North Texas. Simply begin at the TADRA Point campground to access 75 miles of trails that wind through ancient oaks and tall grass prairies. The five distinct loop trails, which vary in difficulty, are perfect for a long hike or a quick trail run.
Equestrian enthusiasts come from all over the country to experience the 75 mile network of trails within the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands. Find the trailhead at the TADRA Point campground, which is the perfect spot to rest after a long, hot day on the trails!
The shallow waters of Black Creek Lake are great for beginners, but don’t hesitate to explore Coffee Mill Lake or East Lake Crockett as well. Remember to bring your own floatation device, because there are no rentals available within the park.
The sandy shorelines at Black Creek Lake make it the ultimate swimming spot within the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands. The water is normally shallow, too, so it’s great for lounging around or taking the kids for a dip! Just be aware that there are no lifeguards on duty and swimming is at your own risk.
The diverse ecosystem of the grasslands provide a unique wildlife watching opportunity for visitors of all ages. Birdwatchers will especially enjoy the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands area because it falls directly in the migratory path of dozens of avian species.
