Review of Fin & Feather Resort

Located on one of the best fishing coves on Toledo Bend Lake, Fin & Feather Resort is ideal for a weekend escape or weeklong vacation. They offer a variety of choices for accommodations - full hookup RV sites, one and two bedroom triplexes with a full kitchen, hotel type rooms, and one and two bedroom park models - all at reasonable rates. Most of the comfortable cabins have an excellent view of Toledo Bend Lake.

Some of the Fin & Feather amenities include: a great restaurant with a sports bar atmosphere (pool tables, TVs, shuffleboard) and an outside deck overlooking the lake; swimming pool and hot tub; lighted and covered fishing pier as well as a fish cleaning station; multi-lane boat ramp and overnight boat slips; pontoon boat rentals for guests; a playground and a game room; and a small store with staples and lots of fishing gear and bait.

The open air lakefront pavilion is great for fishing tournaments, weddings, or business meetings. And the convention center is great for special events for 25 to 300 guests.
