Tourism — Nature & Parks
Sabine Parish is home to two premier state parks offering completely different ecological experiences on the shores of the nation's #1 bass fishing lake.
Zwolle, LA — Northern Shores
Located on the northern shores, this 900-acre park is built for active families and anglers. It features a double-ramp boat launch, a seasonal Olympic-sized swimming pool, 10 vacation cabins, and a 12-mile multi-use trail through the piney woods.
Anacoco, LA — Near the Dam
Perched on the scenic bluffs near the Toledo Bend Dam, this park is an eco-tourist's dream. It serves as a known nesting ground for bald eagles and features a waterfront observation deck, 19 premium cabins, and a dedicated Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail system.
Please note that the historic Hodges Gardens State Park was permanently closed in 2017 due to state budget cuts, and ownership was transferred back to the Hodges Foundation. It is no longer open to the public.
