Toledo Bend Reservoir is located on the Sabine River between Louisiana and Texas. The 185,000-acre lake is the largest man-made reservoir in Texas.

The dam can produce 92 megawatts of electrical power. Toledo Bend has 1,200 miles of shoreline and is being rapidly developed as a recreation spot. There are already many opportunities for swimming, boating, various picnic areas, camps, and hiking and walking trails.

Freshwater fishing is very popular, and a number of clubs host annual tournaments. While there are a number of marked boat lanes, there are still many submerged logs and tree stumps, so shallow draft power boats are the most suitable.
