Polk County, Texas

Polk County is deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas. The Big Thicket National Preserve spills over into its borders. It’s a nature lover’s paradise.
Livingston is the county seat with Lake Livingston as the big draw. It’s massive with over 83,000 acres. The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe calls this place home. They’ve got a reservation here.
Timber has been big business for generations. So has cattle ranching. Winters are mild. Summers are sweltering. But that’s East Texas for you.
