The 3,855-acre Little Lake Creek Wilderness in the Sam Houston National Forest (SHNF), on the western edge of the Piney Woods of East Texas, is bisected by three major creek drainages: Little Lake Creek, Pole Creek, and Sand Branch. Loblolly and shortleaf pines dominate ridgetops separated by a wide variety of hardwood trees along the creek channels, creating a rich ecological mosaic. The Lone Star Hiking Trail accesses the wilderness, but hikers should inquire locally about conditions during wet periods, as the trail may be muddy. Wilderness areas are managed to maintain natural, pristine environments, and motorized vehicles, logging, and other intrusive activities are prohibited.
