 Eagle
Landing is a private 250-acre lake nestled in the East
Texas piney woods. Eagle Landing is located approximately
3 miles West of Avinger, Texas.
It
is about 20 miles northwest of historic Jefferson, Texas,
30 miles northeast of Longview, Texas, and about 5 miles
north of the center of Lake O' the Pines. The
Eagle Landing community and development is built around
a private 250-acre lake. This lake was originally Simpson
Lake, named after the Simpson family that owned the land.
The Simpson family cleared the land and built the lake,
as we currently know it, in the late 50's and early 60's.
Currently there are approximately 80 private homes on
the lake. 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
beauty of the Eagle Landing area is preserved!  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. Just about any day
is a good day to go fishing at Eagle Landing!
There
is a wide variety of birds and other wildlife on and near
the lake. Bird species that are 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. During 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, and many other small animals. |
