Angelina River, Texas

Report by Marc W. McCord

The Angelina River is one of several beautiful, remote streams that flow through the Piney Woods of Deep East Texas. Surrounded by rugged forest bottomlands, the river is home to many birds, animals, reptiles, plants and fish. What you will not see is large-scale development or signs of civilization other than access roads above and below Sam Rayburn Reservoir, which sits just below US Highway 59. Paddling the Angelina River is like taking a trip back into the past, when Native Americans were all that roamed this area. Much of the adjoining land is owned by timber companies who graciously allow public access to and use of their property for camping, fishing and river access. Information for the Angelina River is divided into the reaches above and below Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
