Shadows of early Caddo and Spanish occupation linger, and the stories of Texas’ emergence from a wilderness to a great Sstate unfold in the region’s numerous towns, many among the state’s oldest. All you expect from Texas is here: wide-open spaces, oil derricks, rodeos and that proud-to-be-Texan spirit. But there’s more. Add four national and five state forests, abundant lakes and rivers, the incomparable Big Thicket, old southern plantations, historic courthouse squares, festivals galore, spectacular spring and fall color, bayous, swamps and alligators, and the Texas Forest Trail Region becomes the perfect place for tourists to indulge their appetites for history, culture and nature. The TexasTorest Trail # # Gateway toTexas ## # Texas heritage is everywhere — from historic downtowns with restored Victorian buildings, antique shops, soda fountains, museums and Civil War monuments to historic sites, railroads, sawmill towns and oil boomtowns. East Texans love their heritage, and if sometimes they get carried away it’s because they’re good storytellers not adverse to embellishing the already colorful facts. Legend has it East Texas is home to the invention of the hamburger and a biblically inspired flying machine which may have flown before the Wright brothers’ famous flight. The region boasts one of Texas’ greatest heroes, Sam Houston. A complex man, he lived with Cherokees in Oklahoma and was governor of Tennessee before leading Texas’ fight for independence from Mexico. Houston became the first elected president of the Republic of Texas, and when Texas became a state, he served as both a U.S. senator and governor. Exhibits at the Sam Houston Homestead & Museum Complex in Huntsville explore the life of the famous Texan. TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION The area’s original inhabitants were the Caddo Indians, an advanced prehistoric civilization of mound builders with sophisti- cated trade networks. The state owes its name to the Caddos. They welcomed Spanish explorers, calling them tejas, meaning friends. Texans declared independence from Mexico in 1836, but the spirit of independence flared earlier in East Texas. Nacogdoches was the site of three separate rebellions. After the fall of the Alamo, settlers from all over Texas fled their homes during the Runaway Scrape. Many headed for the Louisiana border and took refuge in East Texas towns until word came of the decisive victory at San Jacinto. Western expansion and European immigration brought many people to and through Texas beginning in the mid-1800s. They drove out most Native American tribes, but the Alabama- Coushatta remained on land set aside as a reservation near Livingston. Visitors can walk over a 560-foot historical bridge at the center of Footbridge Park in Rusk. # The Mobil Oil Pegasus, above, symbolizes the impact oil had in East Texas.

Nowhere did passions When the Lucas Gusher blew at Spindletop in 1901, the word run higher than in East Texas. Some towns were suppliers and Texas became synonymous with oil.

Boomtowns sprang up overnight. Following the Civil War, railroad expansion in East Texas and the depletion of forests in northern states gave rise to the timber industry. Historically, the Texas Forest Trail Region’s climate, natural beauty, Clear-cutting destroyed many old-growth forests, but eventually wildlife and medicinal springs attracted tourists and winter modern forestry and conservation practices were adopted. residents as far back as the early 1800s. Today the development of lakes, parks and trails, the creation of heritage attractions and the historic restoration of a dozen Texas Main Street cities Texas heritage make the region more inviting than ever. is everywhere... # from historic downtowns with restored Victorian buildings, antique shops, soda fountains, museums and Civil War monuments to historic sites, railroads, sawmill towns and oil boomtowns.

Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................

The State was impacted by Hurricanes Ike and Dolly and a significant tropical storm within a 52 day time frame. Hurricane Ike, the most damaging, was enormous, 900 miles wide, and the size of West Virginia. As it rolled across the Gulf of Mexico, Ike grew from a Category 2 storm to a powerful Category 4 that unleashed a 20-foot storm surge that engulfed Galveston and other coastal areas, proving to be the third-most destructive storm to hit the United States. Hurricane Dolly, although less damaging only in absolute terms, had already struck the south Texas coastline as a Category 2 hurricane. It was the most destructive storm to hit the Rio Grande valley in over four decades.

    Chapter 1 Description of the Region The East Texas Regional Water Planning Area (ETRWPA) is one of sixteen areas established by the 1997 Texas legislature Senate Bill 1 for the purpose of State water resource planning at a regional level on five- year planning cycles. The first regional water plan was adopted in 2001. Since that time, it was updated in 2006, 2011, and 2016. This plan, the 2021 Regional Water Plan (2021 Plan), is the result of the 5th cycle of regional water planning. Pursuant to the formation of the ETRWPA, the East Texas Regional Water Planning Group (ETRWPG or RWPG), was formed and charged with the responsibility to evaluate the region’s population projections, water demand projections, and existing water supplies for a 50-year planning horizon. The RWPG then identifies water shortages under drought of record conditions and recommends water management strategies. This planning is performed in accordance with regional and state water planning requirements of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). This chapter provides details for the ETRWPA that are relevant to water resource planning, including: a physical description of the region, climatological details, population projections, economic activities, sources of water and water demand, and regional resources. A discussion of threats to the region’s resources and water supply, a general discussion of water conservation and drought preparation in the region, and a listing of ongoing state and federal programs in the ETRWPA that impact water planning efforts in the region are also provided. 1.1 General Introduction The ETRWPA consists of all or portions of 20 counties located in the Neches, Sabine, and Trinity River Basins, and the Neches- Trinity Coastal Basin.
