Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge Bike Tour

SAVE THE DATE!

Join us for a unique guided bicycle tour exploring the history, landscapes, and surviving resources of the former Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant (now the Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge) in Karnack, Texas.

This leisurely, 14.5-mile guided ride will take participants through one of the most significant Cold War-era industrial and military landscapes in Texas. Along the route, participants will visit historic production areas, military infrastructure, nineteenth century cemeteries, and other notable sites while learning about the plant's role in supporting the nation's defense efforts during World War II and the Cold War.

The tour will include multiple interpretive stops led by historians and preservation professionals, as well as a lunch break at the Star Ranch Pavilion overlooking Caddo Lake. Designed for a wide range of cycling abilities, the route follows relatively flat terrain with ample opportunities to rest, explore, and engage with the site's fascinating history.

Photography is encouraged! E-bikes will be available for rental at registration. Additional details, registration information, and a complete schedule will be announced soon.
