Little Lake Creek Wilderness features the increasingly rarefied gem of southern eastern U.S. forests: the bottomland hard woods.

| Fungi devour snags and fallen logs largely undisturbed in the Wilderness, thanks in part to regulations that exclude motorized vehicles and permanent structures. However, considerate forest users are the most effective protection against disturbance. |
Our kids enjoyed a four hour hike through
Little Lake Creek Wilderness in the
Sam Houston National Forest. It was the perfect way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act, which has been protecting special places from development since 1964.
