Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Park Manager Todd Dickinson talks about Caddo Lake State Park on the 195-foot long pier at Mill Pond. The park was established in 1934 under the Civilian Conservation Corps, a public work relief program.

On Sunday afternoon drives down a narrow dirt road, Mary Jane Sanders would stare out of her daddy's car window at the hundreds of towering pine trees. "We came here every Sunday to see what had changed, what progress had been made," Sanders said of her family's weekly routine about 75 years ago. "We were so excited to have a state park open on Caddo Lake in 1934."
