Review:
Angelina National Forest offers many choices of recreational activities. The centerpiece of the forest is the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, which is popular among fishermen, boaters, and those who want to try their hand at waterskiing. Caney Creek and Sandy Creek recreation areas both feature campsites, picnic areas, boat ramps, and fishing. Caney Creek even offers a campfire theater.
There are several other boat ramps on the reservoir, including those at Harvey Creek and Townsend Recreation Area. Many hiking trails weave through the scenic forest surrounding the reservoir, and you can spot ruins from old bridges and sawmills along many of the trails. A variety of wildlife species live in the forest, including deer, wild turkey, quail, and the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.
