Lake for a glorious time. Good hiking is available along the Nature Trail; if you're here you will meet lots of folks from nearby Palestine.
This lake is so wonderful. It's a wonderful idea to have a look at Snake Creek, it's
next to Crystal Lake; after a long day outdoors La Quinta Inn & Suites Palestine is a wonderful place to spend a night or two. This lake is so wonderful. There are other spots here than Crystal Lake, for example Killion Lake, and Holiday Inn Express Palestine, Tx is a pleasant place to get some rest.

...er to speak of, but you need to be prepared to make short portages and negotiate downed timber in the water. One area in particular you will need to tie some line off to your kayak and let it float under a downed tree, you crawl over the tree and then get back in. I'm sure the when and where the trees are down changes quite often.... And it looks like someone (probably the river authority) takes a saw down and cuts some of this out from time to time.
The put in location is correct. However, the take out is not. You need to float further down to the 175 bridge (less than 1/4th mile) and get out there.
I would suggest that experienced paddlers attempt this only when the water is high from heavy rains or when the dam is letting a lot of water out. There's vegetative litter stuck in the trees 10 foot above the water line.... So at some points of the year... This thing moves... And could represent dangers with the amount of timber.
