About Karnack
Karnack is a rural unincorporated community in northeastern Harrison County near Caddo Lake in the eastern region of the U.S. state of Texas.
The town is named after Karnak, Egypt (near modern-day Luxor). The community's alignment with the city of Port Caddo was thought to be relative to that of Karnak and Thebes.
The Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge founded in 2000, formerly the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant in operation there from 1942 to 1997, is located in Karnack.
