This is one of the places in east Texas that not many Texans know of. This was my third visit to this place and I was still amazed with the beauty I could see in a place like Texas. It's just 4 hours drive from Austin and 2.5 hours drive from Dallas towards East. 

What makes this place special is cypress trees in the lake and their beautiful reflections. You get a different flavor in each season - greens all around in spring and summer, different colors in fall and a brown cover in winters. Also, you would be in for a treat if you are a bird lover. Get up early in the morning and you could hear several birds chirping. 

Tips: 

1. Avoid visiting this place in summer as it's still Texas and it gets very hot and humid during that time. 

2. Instead of booking a hotel in Karnack town, get a vacation rental (go Vrbo) in "Uncertain" -- yes, that's the name of the place. Most vacation rentals have a minimum of two night stays so plan the trip accordingly.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635976197448/94e7c6c3-5393-442f-a80f-41767f8bfa47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
