Things to Do in
Hawkins

Hawkins has more going on than you might think. Here's what's worth your time.

• Fish for bass, crappie, and catfish at Lake Hawkins — bring a kayak or just a lawn chair
• Catch a Hawkins Hawks game on Friday night and watch the whole town show up
• Drive the back roads through Wood County cattle ranches and pine timber
• Hit the Hawkins Community Center for local events, holiday gatherings, and potluck suppers
• Hunt whitetail and hog on private leases in the surrounding countryside
• Take a day trip to Lake Fork — one of the top bass lakes in the country — about 20 minutes north
• Explore rural heritage sites and old farmsteads scattered around the area
• Walk the town on a weekend morning when it's quiet enough to hear birds arguing
