Swimmers enjoy the floats at Red Hills Lake. A hiker stops to enjoy the watery depths at the Jug Hole in Indian Mounds Wilderness. Horseback riders trot down a shady trail at the Indian Mounds Wilderness. The 160,656-acre Sabine National Forest in the East Texas "pineywoods" region sits on the western edge of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, the fifth-largest man-made reservoir in the country. Public and private facilities provide access from both the Texas and Louisiana shores. The Sabine has seen a long and often turbulent history. This rich forest environment sheltered Native Americans for thousands of years. Europeans arrived in the 17th century and in the early 19th century the region served as a buffer zone between French Louisiana and Spanish Texas. In the late 1890s, intensive logging devastated the Pineywoods and by 1920 the resource was exhausted. Numerous relics of old railroad tramways remain from this period. Through intensive management, this region has been reforested to provide sustained timber yield, wildlife habitat, livestock grazing and recreation opportunities. The 11,000-acre Indian Mounds Wilderness, bounded on two sides by the reservoir, offers hiking, wilderness backpacking, horseback riding, fishing and hunting.
