Sabine National Forest spans over 160,656 acres of serene east Texas land, and it's a stunning escape from the real world that's easily accessible by a quick road trip.
The striking environment that spans through several cities and into Louisiana is not something you can find just anywhere in the state.
A lot of things can be done in just a day here, which is probably why camping nestled in the forest or at a campground is so popular. With so much land comes plenty of activities to find.
The hiking trails are lush with giant trees and wildlife, like super cool salamanders you can spot on your journey. The local fishing and hunting grounds are abundant with creatures as well.
There is a total of 296,100 acres of prime sportfishing provided by the nearby Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn Reservoirs.

The forest is only one of the four nationally regulated ones contained within the state.
It spreads to the furthest eastern point of the state and forms part of the boundary between Louisiana, so Texans and Louisianans alike can come out to Sabine and enjoy activities you couldn't find anywhere else.
