Caddo Lake - Part 5 in a five part series from the Marshall News Messenger

Caddo Lake: Businesses profit from influx of tourists to the lake Mike and Nita Fyffe are busy serving their customers at Fyffe's Corner Grocery and Bait this summer. It's that time of year, the couple said, when tourists visiting Caddo Lake triple the store's usual trade. And Fyffe's located at the entrance to Caddo Lake State Park is not the only business that profits from the lake's visiting fishermen, campers, sightseers and birdwatchers. The entire Caddo Lake business community, Harrison County and East Texas as a whole would suffer economically without the lake's pull on vacationers. Tourists spent $53 million in Harrison County in 2002, generating $931,000 in local tax receipts and 620 jobs, according to Dean Runyon Associates, a firm that specializes in economic consulting work.
