  So many yellow daffadils in one scenic drive, and the log cabin was an excellent photo spot. And did I mention it was free!

  I was so disappointed. I was there to take engagement pictures of my son's friends that were getting married. I am just a mother with a camera and they were early 20 year olds in love getting married cause the honeymoon had come early. The woman owner wanted us to give her $300 "donation" to take pictures there. This park is in my home town and we have never had to give more than $25. When I only gave the usual donation of $25 she went off on me and had us followed all around the park. She even whet so far as to "bar" us for life. She only got more and more hostile when I asked if it was about the money. I think she was a raciest as we were white and she was black. I also think she is pocketing money from the owners.

  Each year it seems we wait too late and fail to get to Gladewater before the spring flowers fade. This year was different and we went!. We called before traveling and made sure they were open. Once there we were greeted at the gate by Mrs Johnson, who is mentioned in the web site as having some history with the site.The road was dirt but easy to travel. Places are available where you can get out of the car and walk through and enjoy the flowers. The old cabin and pond is like a picture. Allow yourself some time. You will want to take your time and relax, There are many varieties of daffodils and some are opening as others are fading. Don't wait until the peak is over!No fee but donations were welcomed.

  i have never seen so many daffodils - just a sea of yellow. So amazing! Should definitely make a trip out towards Gladewater to see it. Usually good to go in February or March. Dress up the kids for photographs - you will definitely want to take some!

  Acres of yellow daffodils to drive through and admire. Worth the trip.

  Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Gardens are open mid-February to mid-March each year. Donations are accepted but viewing the rolling hills is absolutely free. There is an old log cabin to visit and a bridge to continue your walk.The roads are not paved. Buses would not be able to navigate thru the area.God's creation will take your breathe away. Thanks to Mrs. Lee for sharing her love of daffodils.

Thank you and what a wonderful smile you have!I will never get tired of looking at 1,000 acres of East Texas' most beautiful scenery!If you go please leave a donation.

  I live in the area not too far from the attraction, but only heard of it a couple of years ago. Today I decided to make that trip to Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Garden. From my understanding this place is only open from the middle of February until near the end of March or until the last daffodil dies off. Also, Just to give you a heads up you pretty much drive through this attraction, but there are a few "parking spots" for photo ops and walking. The only thing that caught my attention was the log cabin.I stopped there to take some shots. The road you drive on is bumpy, curvy at times and steep in a couple of places. There were a few times I wanted to pull off to the side and shoot some pics, but you are bombarded with "No Parking" signs through out this attraction and there are workers who drive the dirt roads, I guess to offer assistance and to make sure you aren't parking where you aren't supposed to. Also daffodils are only seen in some of the places the rest of the trip is through what looks like someone's old farm land. It is free, but I did donate a few dollars. You can't argue with free. The reason I give this attraction three out of five is I think part of the park is poorly planned, but that's just my opinion. After my visit I was told by a local professional photographer, that the woman at the gate has a habit of charging a 20 dollar "donation" for people with "professional" cameras and even more if you have assistants, even though it is not addressed on the web site. She didn't charge me, but I also had my cameras hidden in bags. So if you want to shoot with a DSLR camera you may want to hide the camera until you get past the entrance. Another tip is the roads are narrow two lane country back roads that lead to this attraction. On my way there and back on these roads I had a couple of close calls with oversized farm trucks, so be aware of big vehicles and other drivers who lack road courtesy.

  This is such a wonderful place. Go out, watch the scenery, have a picnic, take pictures. It is just beautiful. Some great photo ops. Make it a family tradition.
