Lake Bob Sandlin State Park
Welcome to the park and lake that's popular, friendly, and not-so-ordinary.
With a name like Bob, you'd think this is a ho-hum location. Or, maybe the fishing is great. Well, the second part is correct. Drive about 10 miles south of Mount Pleasant to this 641-acre wilderness park. The lake is 9,000-surface acres in northeast Texas.
BYOB (bring your own boat) to explore cozy inlets and find your perfect fishing spot. There's Lake Cypress Springs and Lake Monticello, too, for triple the fishing fun. If you didn't bring a boat, the fishing pier offers a chance to get in deeper waters. Anglers love catching largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie.
An old-growth forest gives way to prairie and grasslands. As such, you can see an interesting mix of wildlife here. Around 3.3 miles of trails let you walk or bike. Fall time is great because the huge trees turn red, yellow, and orange.

The Moccasin Track and Broken Bow camping areas lie on two adjacent, densely wooded loops. Like we said before, Lake Bob (unlike creepy Uncle Bob) is nothing if not friendly and accommodating, and these sites reflect that: water, electric, fire pit, lantern hooks, and picnic tables (some under shelter) are all included. For a little extra cash, yo Read more...
Some people come to Lake Bob to ‘escape from it all. ’ Then some people look at those ‘escapists,’ all next to each other with their electricity and water and tables (tables! pshaw!) and scoff at them, then walk straight into the woods. If you’re in the second category, or even if you refrain from scoffing but want a more secluded and stripped-dow Read more...

Fort Sherman and Cherokee Trace are the park’s two loops of RV campsites, 63 spots in total. They are very clean and serene sites that have everything that your rig needs: water, 30 amp electricity, fire pit, picnic table, and lantern hooks. For the most part they are spacious, wooded, and flat, though some of them have quite a slope. They’re all Read more...
