west of Avinger, Texas.
It
is 20 miles northwest of historic Jefferson, and 30 miles
northeast of Longview, and about 5 miles
north of the
center of Lake O' the Pines.
The
Eagle Landing community is built around
a private 250-acre lake.Simpson
Lake, named
after the Simpson family that owned the land, cleared the land and built the lake in the
late 50's and early 60's.
Eagle
Landing is governed by a property owners association that
annually elects a Board of
Directors who work to ensure
that the bylaws governing construction, timbering, and
other
lake bylaws and community rules are adhered to.
They also work to ensure that the integrity
and natural
beautyof the Eagle Landing area is preserved by following Firewise principles.

Eagle
landing is a wonderful lake for fishing! It contains a
variety of game fish including
large mouth, striped, hybrid and Florida bass, crappie,
and channel catfish, among others.
A wide variety of birds and other wildlife on and near
the lake. Bird species found here include
eagles,
hawks, egrets, great blue herron, ducks, geese, turkey
vultures and thousands
of species of other smaller birds
common to East Texas.
During
the summer hummingbirds descend on the lake and buzz around
the feeders.
In the winter and spring other migratory
birds pass through and offer spectacular
bird watching
at everyone's individual bird feeders.
Eagle
Landing is also the home of other wildlife including white
tail deer, racoons, red fox, armadillo,
beaver, squirrels, rabbits,
snakes, couger, bobcats, coyote, and many other small animals.
