Located in the heart of the Pineywoods, the 153,160-acre
Angelina National Forest spans Angelina, Nacogdoches, San
Augustine and Jasper Counties. The forest lies in the Neches River
Basin and on the north and south shores of Sam Rayburn
Reservoir, a 114,500 acre lake on the Angelina River formed
by the construction of the Sam Rayburn Dam in the early
1960's.
The Angelina National Forest is in the upper Gulf Coastal
general plain province where the terrain is gently rolling.
Longleaf pine is predominant in the southern portion, while
loblolly and shortleaf pine dominate in the rest of the forest.
Summers are hot and humid and winters generally are short
and mild. The average annual rainfall is 46 inches.
