This was a great trip for families. The entrance is a little shady, but the people are great.

We took a late afternoon into early evening tour on a pontoon boat owned by the "Graceful Ghost" company; we didn't ride the steamboat but saw it and its seemingly-happy passengers disembarking. Our pontoon boat tour was well worth repeating. The price was reasonable at $20 per person for an almost-private 1.5-hour tour of the evening with a knowledgeable, humorous... More

With its' scenic cypress trees and lily pads, Caddo Lake is one of a kind. The steamboat ride is well worth the time and money.

My aunt and uncle had read about the graceful ghost in a magazine article (AARP I believe). Whoever wrote a positive article about this SHORT SHORT boat ride, must have been taken on a different ride. We hardly went anywhere (a few hundred yards from the dock) and then came straight back.

Captain Byron was so wonderful and educated us on the history of both the lake and the town. We were even lucky enough to spot an 8 ft. gator!! You can always tell when someone loves what... More

If you can't get out to the Caribbean or Alaska this year for that "once in a lifetime cruise" then you have got to visit Caddo Lake and board the Graceful Ghost Steamboat. Captain Ron provides the navigation and the show (comedian, historian and naturalist). Caddo Lake provides the setting and was strikingly beautiful on our recent visit (December). We... More
