TX-87 Sabine National Forest
Texas Highway 87 traverses East Texas through the Sabine National Forest between the Louisiana border at Logansport and the town of Hemphill, then continues south toward Jasper — a total corridor of roughly 60 miles through dense East Texas pine forest. The road follows the western shore of Toledo Bend Reservoir for several miles, offering water views through the pines. Traffic is light, pavement is well-maintained two-lane, and the road presents gentle curves through timber and bottomland terrain. It is a pronounced contrast to Hill Country riding — green, humid, heavily forested — and suits riders touring the eastern half of the state. The Sabine National Forest boundary is signed along the route.
