[birds call]

- RUDY MESA: The sunrise here at Choke Canyon is just

extravagant, just the different colors that come through,

the birds in the background.

It's just all worth getting up early in the morning just to

hear and view that.

Choke Canyon State Park may be quiet, but it's never dull.

wait until you try the water.

[energetic music]

important in life.

Every one of them has been down here and camped with us,

[frogs, crickets, birds chirp]

[music]

- NARRATION: In Northeast Texas, there's a park that's

still a secret.

Hidden right on the water is Lake Bob Sandlin State Park.

- PARK INTERPRETER: Y'all look right here you can see the

red eared slider out there on that stump.

- PAUL HARRIS: One of the things that we promote about our park

is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle.

We're a two hour drive from the Dallas metroplex, but once you

arrive you'll feel like you are a million miles away.

- CAMPER: We feel like we're out in the middle of nowhere we can

have room for the tents and the camper and just walk right down.

[family laughing]

- ANDY: Beautiful day for a walk.

[Heron calls]

- NARRATION: In the morning the park offers guided hikes

that take folks along the lakes' edge,

and into the forest.

- ANDY: It's a short walk, it'll give us an example of most

of the things you will see in East Texas in the Piney woods.

[Red-Winged Blackbird sings]

This is a Louisiana Milk snake.

- HIKER: That's just beautiful!

- ANDY: This is the mimic snake of the coral snake,

and the saying goes red on black friend of Jack, red on yellow

kill a fellow, it's a pretty little snake, real common snake

for this area.

We've got four and a half miles through here, we just saw a

small part of it on our walk.

- PAUL: We have a stock pond inside the park.

- GIRL: It's heavy.

- RUSSELL: No see, you're getting a bite, look at it!

- PAUL: It's about a two acre pond, very shaded!

- RUSSELL: You got em, reel it, reel it, there you go.

I think you got em!

What's good thing about the pond here is it's

got a lot of small fish in it.

- GIRL: I've got one fish!

- RUSSELL: And uh, young children are guaranteed success

which helps because they're patience is not as long.

- DAD: Push him off!

Let him go, they're here goes!

Now!

- RUSSELL: If parent's take the time and keep baiting the hooks,

they're guaranteed to catch fish before they're through!

- GIRL: There he goes!

- RUSSELL: Good job!

[music]

- NARRATION: If you're looking for bigger fish,

the best bet is out on the water.

- KELLY BLACK: Just about anywhere you fish could be good.

There's almost not a bad looking spot on the lake,

a place that it doesn't look like it will hold a bass or two.

- MICHAEL: Ah, fish on!

Yippee!

- KELLY: Boy they sure do shine!

- MICHAEL: Hey, Kelly got one!

Did it come off or still on there?

- KELLY: Still on there.

- MICHAEL: Oh, that's a decent one there, oh it came off Kelly.

- KELLY: No that's called quick release!

- MICHAEL: Ha, ha!

- NARRATION: So whether it's the fishing, hiking, or lounging,

check out Lake Bob Sandlin State Park...

just keep it a secret.

- KELLY: It's peaceful, it's nice,

it's just a great place to be!
