Toledo
Bend Lake
is located on the Sabine River. This reservoir forms a portion of
the boundary between the states of Texas and Louisiana. From the
dam site, which is north of Burkeville, TX, the reservoir extends up
the
Sabine river for about 65 miles to Logansport, LA, and inundates land
in
Sabine, Shelby, Panola and Newton Counties, Texas, and Sabine and
DeSoto
Parishes, Louisiana. Toledo Bend Reservoir is the largest man made body
of water in the south and the fifth largest in surface acres (205,000
acres with over 1,200 miles of shoreline) in the United States.
2004 UPDATE - CLICK HERE: This location and Sam Rayburn
Reservoir are
where a number of the Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas clubs hold an
annual
petrified wood hunt each October. |

 "The happy wood collector" |
 |
 There were a few larger pieces to be picked up! |
 A little over an hour's worth of collecting. Most of these specimens came from around the immediate area of the fish camp. |
 A very pretty setting to look for rocks! |
