  • Wild Azalea Canyons: Famous since the 1800s, this area provides a wonderful spot for year round hiking and in March it blossoms with wild Azaleas - about a 30 minute drive South.
  • Canyon Rim Woodlands Trail: Nearby, easy access, well marked trails, and an easy walk in the woods makes this trail a great one to visit. About 20 minutes driving time from the resort.
  • Trail Between the Lakes: This 28 mile trail, primarily through Sabine National Forest, has many points where you can enter or leave the trail to make your excursion in the woods as long - or brief - as you like. It begins "just down the road" from Fin & Feather, at the Lakeview Recreation Site. and passes right by the resort.
  • Boles Field Recreation Area: The Boles Field area is a tradition with fox hunters and is home to the National Fox Hound cemetery. Boles Field is about a 45 minute scenic drive away.
  • Moore Wildlife Management Area: A few miles up the road, the 27,034 acre Moore Plantation Wildlife Management Area offers hunting and camping. Portable deer stands may be used but may not be left unattended for more than 72 hours.
