The Sesame St. Playground (Private Hangout)

If you know, you know — this little spot out near Caddo Lake is the kind of place you stumble onto and then quietly keep to yourself. The Sesame Street theming makes it genuinely unlike anything else in this corner of East Texas, which is saying something. Being private means you can’t just roll up whenever, so plan accordingly. The forest and lake surroundings do a lot of the heavy lifting though — even getting close to Caddo has a way of making a trip feel worth it.
