Fish the Sabine River
Fish for bass, bluegill, and crappie on the upper Sabine River. The river is well stocked with some good-sized fish-and the experience fishing on the upper Sabine is far more enjoyable than fishing in a resevoir, even if resevoir fishing does tend to mean bigger fish. Your luck will be largely based on the temperature of the air-the hotter it gets, the more likely these fish are going to stay low in the water, in cool, shady areas.

Drive the Forest Trail
Drive all or part of the 840 mile route through the pineywoods. The route connects the Sabine with the Davey Crockett, the Angelina, and the Sam Houston National Forests, as well as touring Govenor Hogg Shrine State Park, Lake O' the Pines, and Caddo Lake State Park.

Spot some Wildlife
Wildlife in the Texas National Forests includes armadillo, gray fox, bob cat, deer, and bald eagle in addition to numerous songbirds, reptiles.
