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.

Really good hotel, the only thing is that the room was really cold. The cold air went through down the door and even with the heater was really cold. But other than that everything was great. It was a virtual check in and out and it was a smooth experience. Clean and good amount space for 2 persons. The parking is $10 a day and didn’t have a problem parking or with any noises at night. The staff was really nice and it was a great location you have everything around. Highly recommended!! I put a video on my tiktok yaami1517 with a room tour.
