Toledo Bend, Zwolle & Natchitoches - Louisiana

Here are some snaps from the Labor day long weekend trip (Sep 1st - Sep 3rd). We had been to a place called Zwolle. Well, it sounds like a African name, but its a very small place in Louisiana. To be more precise, we went to the Toledo Bend lake area and stayed at one of the resorts (Wildwood Resorts) on the banks of the lake.

This place is on the border of Texas and Louisiana. Actually, the Toledo Bend lake is formed due to a Dam which is built across the Sabine River. This river kind of forms the border between Texas and Louisiana! The lake itself is pretty big, and I read on one of the websites that its the largest man made lake in the South (of USA).

Here are some snaps……..

We also visited a few near by towns. Spent almost half a day at the Historic town of Natchitoches.

There is a nice little “Cane River Lake” at Natchitoches. We took a 45 minute boat ride on the same. Got to see some really beautiful houses and landscaping !. Check out the pictures below…

Watauga Lake

Had been to the Watauga lake on Sunday. Its about a hours drive from Kingsport. Its pretty close to Elizabethton. Watauga lake is the highest lake in Tennessee and the third cleanest lake in North America! … and very beautiful too!. This lake was formed due to the construction of a Dam across the Watauga river. The lake is appx 19 miles long with around 106 miles of shoreline!!

The word “Watauga” is supposedly a Native American word meaning “beautiful river”.

Wooden log

Shot this one over the weekend. We had been to sullia to visit one of our relatives on Saturday. The visit was long due kind. Sullia is around 2.5 hrs drive from Mangalore. Started at around 10 AM and came back by around 7 PM in the evening. Our relative has a plywood factory over there, and area is kind of scenic! It was raining all the time, so couldn’t explore the surrounding forest area. But next time, i would want to do that!
