Plenty of swamps in East Texas. Cotton fields not so much.

Swamps, as in Florida?, not Tyler, Northeast Texas, maybe far, far Southeast Texas, Beaumont, P.A. Orange, if so, still, most of us who live here, do not really consider that far SE area as East Texas, when you just say East Texas, most people, in my long lifetime experience, say Southeast Texas for that area, even when I lived in Houston, most people there, said SE Texas. To them East Texas was Lufkin, Nacogdoches and points on up North into East Texas. just saying, ahh, I don't think it was worth the 'splination. lol

So what would you call the Caddo Lake/Karnack area? I do know bald cypress grows all throughout East Texas and there are probably countless hidden wetlands all the up to the Red River.

OK, there are swamps. It probably would be a nice "experience" to visit these "spots". I probably will. I just meant, swamps, don't interfere, or get in my way, of enjoying my everyday living. I guess swamps can be a positive thing for some folks, ok.

I thought swamps were being presented here as, oh, don't move to East Texas, there is just swamps and cotton fields there, who the heck would like that !!, BEWARE/AVOID lol. now, make sense?

I was more referring to DEEP East Texas.

Well, thanks for the clarification because your original post just made a generalized (and inaccurate) statement about east Texas - the whole region.

Northeast Texas and southeast Texas are definitely very different. Northeast Texas definitely offers a lot more than "swamps and trees." We have a thriving and diverse economy, beautiful lakes and rivers, and we enjoy close proximity to several metro areas that offer a lot - as well as plenty of "country living" and everything in between.

We moved to the metroplex last March, and just recently took a drive out to the Tyler/Lindale area. Fell in love immediately - there were TREES! BIG, GREEN ONES! EVERYWHERE!

We had forgotten what they looked like!
