Sabine County is home to two of
America's most popular black bass fishing lakes, Toledo Bend
and Sam Rayburn. Both lakes are surrounded in part by the
lush green of the Angelina National Forest or the Sabine
National Forest, giving the view from either lake a pristine
horizon of tall pines and sturdy hardwoods.
Managing these two lakes and
the surrounding woodlands falls to several governing bodies
including the Sabine River Authority, Texas Parks &
Wildlife, US Forest Service, and the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
The fishing doesn't stop with
bass though. These two legendary lakes are also home to
other species of sought after fish including bream, catfish,
crappie (white perch), striper, and white bass.
Additionally, the lakes are
home to a number of species of both game and protected birds
including a variety of waterfowl and our National Bird, the
Bald Eagle. And the forests are full of game animals
including deer, hog, turkey, and other wildlife.
The action doesn't stop with
fishing and hunting either. These two lakes and the
surrounding forests are also great for birding, camping,
hiking, and water/outdoor sports of all kinds.
Sabine County has been called
"Best of all places" and with good reason; beauty, history,
hospitality, it's all here!
