With many native Caddoan peoples already forcibly relocated out of the area, the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Kickapoo moved into East Texas in the 19th century, clashing with settlers over the rich farmlands. LIFE ON THE EDGE To prehistoric peoples and early settlers, the attraction of the natural environment of the Big Cypress Creek watershed was strong. The plentiful resources caused conflict, interspersed with periods of harmony. Prehistoric peoples camped along major streams in modern-day Titus County, leaving behind evidence in the form of stone tool debris, burned rock features and earthen middens. From A.D. 800 – 1680, permanent Caddoan groups occupied the area now known as Lake Bob Sandlin State Park. French and Spanish periodically occupied the area, establishing trade relationships with the Caddo. WHERE EAST MEETS WEST The Republic of Texas built Fort Sherman in 1838 as an outpost and to protect the Anglo-American settlers as they rapidly pushed Native American groups out of East Texas. Built along the Cherokee Trace, the fort overlooked Big Cypress Creek. A migration route established by Native Americans and used by settlers, Cherokee Trace now lies under Highway 21. By 1846, the fort fell into ruin; the only evidence of its existence is the cemetery located in the park’s day-use area. Newly established transportation routes, like the railroad, helped Titus County grow rapidly. The Great Depression caused a decline in cotton production and a shift to cattle ranching and timber production. The land stayed like this until Lake Bob Sandlin State Park opened in 1987. While the desired resources may have changed throughout the years, the diversity of resources and opportunities available continues to attract families to the area. What brought you here today? A loud wuk wuk followed by a few seconds of powerful drumming cuts through the silence. Overhead, a flash, as the Pileated Woodpecker (above) flaps and glides to a long-dead White Oak, still standing proudly. In fall, Sweetgum leaves turn scarlet and drop to the forest floor, a stark contrast to the evergreen pine needles. The bluestem grass transitions from its winter rust color to a bright blue green color come spring. Cliff Swallows and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers (cover) soar above as many other songbirds serenade nature. Here at the park, the geology and wildlife of both the Pineywoods and the Post Oak Savannah ecological regions are represented. When two ecological regions come together, biodiversity soars, like the resident bald eagles scanning for a meal. East truly meets West here, as the mosaic of habitats allows for a higher wildlife diversity. Western species, including Cliff Swallows, are found at their easternmost boundaries and eastern species, like the Pileated Woodpecker and

The variety of Texas’ lands is unmatched; from the mountains of west Texas to the Gulf shores, the Texas State Park system celebrates and preserves the natural and cultural treasures that make Texas such a special place. The 640,000-plus acres that make up the state park system are nearly as diverse as the people of Texas. Since 1923, our mission has been to help connect our visitors with the outdoors. As we honor those who have come before us, I invite a new generation to be a part of the story of the lands that connect us all. There is more to enjoy in our parks than you know, so please join us in our celebrations and activities. Every day we look for new and better ways to ensure your state parks are welcoming to every Texan, regardless of their background or experience being outside. I hope you’ll visit soon and often, while bringing your friends and family along. YOU are a natural and we’re looking forward to celebrating the 100-year anniversary of state parks with you!

Back in 1923, Governor Pat Neff realized rising numbers of new car travelers needed places to camp overnight on multi-day trips.
