The Piney Woods of East Texas, with its millions of acres of pine forests and wetlands, has an unique appeal all its own. Texas' four national forests, which offer wonderful camping, hiking, and fishing, are all located in this densely wooded area of the state. History buffs can visit the 1800s via quaint historic towns and replica pioneer settlements. Many of the Victorian buildings double as charming bed-and-breakfast inns. A steam-powered locomotive carries visitors through sky-scraping pines. Blooming dogwoods, magnolias, and roses add a touch of southern charm to this region.
