The North Toledo Bend Wildlife Management Area (WMA) has 3,650 acres and is located in Shelby County, adjacent to Toledo Bend Reservoir. The WMA is managed under a license agreement with the Sabine River Authority of Texas.

The Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Sabine River forms a portion of the boundary between Louisiana and Texas.The lake is formed by the Toledo Bend Dam northeast of Beaumont. The dam was completed in 1969 and and the reservoir is the largest man-made body of water in Texas and the South and the fifth largest in surface acres in the United States. Its rolled earthfill dam has a spillway crest elevation of 145 feet above sea level. With a drainage area of 7,178 square miles, the Toledo Bend Reservoir conserves water for municipal, industrial, agricultural, and recreational purposes and stretches for well over 100 river miles. The lake has been well known for bass fishing.

Many Texas Wildlife Management Areas are open for activities such as biking, primitive camping, birding, fishing, hiking, equestrian activities, driving tours, and wildlife viewing.

Many times you need minimally a Texas Limited Public Use Permit (LPU - #175). You can purchase a Limited Public Use Permit or Annual Public Hunting Permit at any location that sells hunting licenses or at the Texas License Connection. If purchased online a representation of receipt is acceptable until official printer version has been mailed to you. In some cases it's not obvious when you need a permit for a Texas Wildlife Management Area so it might be better to be safe, because Texas game wardens do check for such permits.
