Not far from where your staying and while there is a fee to enter for the day or to launch your boat; they also have a small museum in the park entrance area and a nice little gift shop. You can also rent canoes from

Food scene
Great place for lunch or dinner. It’s the official “watering hole” for Caddo Lake and is packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night is steak night and Saturday night is Shrimp night. Cold beer and a couple pool tables and a juke box that stays playing till midnight. Again some of the best food on Caddo Lake and allows you to mix with the locals. They do allow smoking in the bar and we aren’t smokers but we do refer and recommend them highly. Kids only really appropriate until about 5pm and then it really is more adults only.
