The Caddo National Grasslands are located in two areas northeast and northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The site not only provides grazing land for cattle and habitat for wildlife, but offers a variety of recreation. The most popular activities are hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and photography.

The CAddo is comprised of 17,785 acres and contains three lakes. The largest, Lake Coffee Mill, is 651 acres with one developed recreation area containing 13 picnic units and an improved boat ramp. Lake Crockett is 388 acres in size and has two developed recreation areas. West Lake Crockett has 11 camping units, while the east side has four picnic units and an improved boat ramp. There is a $2 day-use fee at Coffee Mill. A $6 per night camping fee is charged for using camping sites at Coffee Mill and West Lake Crockett. Drinking water is available at both lakes. Forty-five acre Lake Fannin is accessible for fishing from the east side only and has an unimproved earthen boat launch site.
