Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
We’ve talked at length about Caddo Lake, and for good reason. Not every state is blessed with such an amazing natural wonder, and you can explore the majestic, wooded landscape firsthand by renting a kayak from Ole Mossy’s Up River. Offering excursions on Big Cypress Bayou, a little-known and especially scenic portion of the lake, Ole Mossy’s lets you experience the world’s largest cypress forest like never before.
Straddling the Texas-Louisiana border, Caddo Lake is home to the largest cypress forest in the entire world.
If you don't have your own kayak or prefer the ease of renting, Ole Mossy's Up River lets you embark on a paddling adventure that showcases the Caddo Lake area in a wholly new, wondrous way.

After renting your kayak, you'll put in on Big Cypress Bayou, which is located on the western edge of the lake.
Visit the Ole Mossy’s Up River Facebook page for more information about their kayak rentals.
