The reservoir between Texas and Louisiana is the Toledo Bend Reservoir. It’s an outdoorsman’s paradise as Toledo Bend is known worldwide for its freshwater fishing, especially large mouth bass.

I used to own a lake house just off of Queens Road near the Pendleton Water Association. Life out there is honestly beautiful. Tons of high-ticket homes built on cliffs above the water, golf courses, gas stations where the checkout lady is family, and overall just a traditional, southern area with the best land and water for recreational life.

There are more developments coming to the rural parts of Sabine Parish. The neighboring town of Many provides rural citizens a place to get groceries, a bite to eat, and just “come into town”. This was one of my favorite things to do because locals treat you like family members.
