Lake Bob Sandlin State Park, located in northeastern Texas, is a lake and forest haven for those seeking peace and natural surroundings. Deer sightings are common, and the lake and forest are home to many species of birds, including eagles. The park’s campsites are full hookup, and screened shelters and group pavilions are available.

Fishermen will love being out on the water or fishing from the pier; the usual catch here is largemouth and Florida bass, catfish, and rainbow trout. The forests are spectacular, particularly in fall, and consist of oak, pine, maple, dogwood, redbud, and hickory. There is a small 19th century cemetery of Confederate soldiers that is worth a visit.
