    Caddo Lake
    by jholley534
    North Lousiana is also known as "Sportsman's Paradise". There is a variety of Lakes, Rivers, and Land which are frequently used for the usual hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. The lakes and such located close by include Black Bayou, Caddo Lake, Cross Lake, Cypress Lake, Lake Bistineau, Wallace Lake, Toledo Bend, and the Red River. If you appreciate swamps, snakes, alligators, and good fishing then I suppose you would really enjoy yourself here.

    According to a Caddoan legend, Caddo Lake was shaped by an earthquake. It was alleged that an Caddo Indian Chief was warned by the Great Spirit to shift his village from the low lands. The Chief unfortunately disregarded the warning and one day while he and his men were out on a hunting trip, the ground started shaking and the village disappeared below the water of the newly created Caddo Lake.

    There could be some truth to this story because in 1811 New Madrid, Missouri had an earthquake that measured 8.9 and this could have knocked down enough trees to form the great raft that dammed the Red River and formed Caddo Lake.

    All Saints Church no particular reason for this other than we passed it on the way back from Natchitoches, on the southside of Shreveport, and I thought the design was really quite different.

    The Port is located in northwest Louisiana at the head of navigation on the Red River. The Port of Shreveport-Bossier is one of America's fastest growing multimodal inland transportation and distribution centres.

    There are trees on this lake that have been ringed at 400 years of age, gracefully draped in Spanish Moss. There are more than 216 species of birds, 47 mammals, 90 reptiles, and 77 species of fish which make their home here.

  • Here you can play miniature golf, go go-karting, they have bumper boats where you can soak your family and friendsand a climbing wall. Also outside is a huge slide for kids, and a couple of merry-go-round type rides. Inside there are arcade games and a play area for kids which is free.
    Here they serve chips, hotdogs, sandwiches, etc.
    Out of the way, but great family fun.

    Location: 4401 Viking Drive, Bossier City.

    This place stinks! No kidding!

  • Okay I have been here for 16 months, my husband is in the military. If you are coming from a bigger city, and want to do something other than the casinos good luck. Theatre, clubs, etc. are smaller scale. If you are not from a bigger city ;then you'll like it. I live in Bossier...and I do enjoy the Outback steakhouse, but that seems to be the best place to eat here. (Doesn't say much) Great place for family outdoor activity during the warm seasons, but that's about it.
