PBS Show - Famous Park Trees, Caddo Lake & Collegiate Camper

Famous Trees of Texas State Parks
From majestic oaks to towering cypress, our state parks contain many remarkable trees. Three of them have risen to such a level of historical importance that they have been included on the Texas A&M Forest Service’s Famous Trees of Texas Registry. Get to know a few of the state park system’s most famous trees and see what makes them special.

Caddo Lake State Park
Straddling the Texas-Louisiana border, swampy Caddo Lake in Northeast Texas has an unusual history and an enduring air of mystery. And Caddo Lake State Park is the ideal gateway to exploring the fascinating lake.

From Campus to Camper
While most park hosts are retired folks with lots of free time, Palo Duro Canyon’s youngest host keeps a very full schedule. By being a volunteer, Lindsay Stroup found a way to save money on housing while attending college.

Postcard From Texas: Lakeside at Isle du Bois
Time at the lake means different things to everyone. Enjoy a lakeside tent site, a good book, or some swimming in the water at the Isle du Bois unit of Ray Roberts Lake State Park.
