Longhorn
Army Ammunition Plant/ Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Photographer's Note:
"The site of the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant has recently
been turned into a Wildlife Refuge near Caddo Lake. We were caught
off guard when we showed up to find all these massive stone walls
peeking out of the forest! Not just the remains of one or two buildings,
but a BUNCH. Now it's a little confusing. There are roads and buildings
everywhere, but a good portion of everything is closed off to the
public. There are parts open to horseback, I believe. I'm not sure
how close you can get to many of the remains. This was the only building
we found without a sign posted to stay out. It was getting dark and
we had two sleepy kids. An adventure to be continued another day.
We are betting winter is the best time to view this. We were there
in the Spring and it was hard to see through all the vegetation.
Here is a site to help explore:
