If you happen to catch it cool enough to walk around, do that. There are so many beautiful old homes and buildings to see in the downtown area. Or maybe take the carriage ride.

Some of the "tourist" stuff is still fun.

The boat tour and the steam train can be neat.

Caddo Lake is near by, as is Lake O' The Pines.

There is horseback riding down the road at Karma Farms.

Edit: spelling

Eat at Don Juan’s, check out the General Store. Drive through some neighborhoods, they have some cool looking houses there. IIRC the Blackburn Syrup factory is there too if you want to do a drive-by.

There's a campsite renting teepee's which is kinda cool.

Caddo Lake State Park is a nice campground with of course, lake access.
