Sam Rayburn Reservoir is located around 110kms north of Beaumont in Deep East Texas. It is a 463 kilometre lake and happens to be the largest lake that is wholly located within the state of Texas.
The lakeâÂÂs surroundings are not very developed, made up predominately of trees and rolling hills, creating a stunning backdrop. Swimming, water skiing and fishing are popular things to do, with largemouth bass, catfish and crappies being the most caught fish living in the lake.
There are a number of campsites and marinas on the shorelines of the lake, as well as the Rayburn Country Resort, which is home to a top notch golf course. Visitors that would prefer to stay dry can go hiking through the Sabine National Forest.
