Lake Chicot State Park

We moved to the state park today. Above is our view of the lake from the RV.

Wow! It is quiet.  It is a huge change from the commercial park.
​
We are backed up to the lake with big old cypress along the bank.  The only problem is that along the bank the last few feet is thick with poison ivy.  Still a really nice view.

We have a small dock a short walk down from our site.  We may get our fishing licenses tomorrow and try our luck from there.

Above our site are big pecan trees.  They have really small paper shell pecans that are dropping all the time. We collected more than a gallon in just a few minutes.

We ended the day by watching the sunset.

The lake was created 200 years ago when an earthquake shifted the path of the Mississippi leaving this body of water as a lake.
