Lake Texoma

Camping at Lake Texoma, One of the Thousand Trails Resorts near the Texas-Oklahoma Border

This Preserve is not directly on the lake, but there is an access road that leads to the shore. The lake is formed by impounding the waters of The Red River of the South and is one of the largest of the Corps of Engineers' lakes in the country. Its surface area is 139 square miles. It is a mecca for boaters and fishing enthusiasts.

The Thousand Trails property is, like so many we have visited, in need of some TLC in the form of road repairs and general maintenance. A local artist has been busy creating chain saw sculptures on dead or fallen trees throughout the camping areas. We have recorded them here.

Some acrobatic bears greet visitors near the gate house.

And this goofy looking bear just stands guard at a campsite.

We didn't see many shore birds but this cattle egret seemed to have found sustenance in the campground.

This is self explanatory!

We never saw the person doing these but these rising fish were roughed out as above. 

And here are the fish after the finishing touches were applied.

This is a cute sign just beyond the entrance. Potholes are also an effective speed deterrent!

As Dave Letterman might say, "A squirrel playing with his nuts!"

That's all from Lake Texoma.
