Warnings

Wild Animal Warning:
Our national forests are a refuge for wild animals, including dangerous animals like bears, alligators and venomous snakes. Wild animals can be upset by human presence and can unexpectedly become aggressive. Do not give them a reason or an opportunity to attack. Always keep your distance. Your safety is your responsibility.

Fishing Advisory:
Largemouth bass at Ratcliff Lake, Bouton Lake, Boykin Springs, and Double Lake have recently shown elevated levels of mercury.  This is a common occurrence in East Texas lakes.  Only largemouth bass and bowfin are affected.  Please observe Texas Department of Health's advisory that adults should limit consumption of largemouth bass from these lakes to no more than two 8-oz. meals per month.  Children should limit consumption of largemouth bass to no more than two 4-oz. meals per month. Women who are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant should not consume any fish from these areas.
