Things to Do in
Malakoff

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

• Fish for largemouth bass and crappie on Lake Palestine — the east side is less crowded
• Boat or kayak the quieter southern stretches of Lake Palestine
• Drive the scenic highway routes through the rolling Henderson County countryside
• Hunt white-tailed deer, dove, or hog on private land leases in the area
• Visit Athens (20 minutes west) for the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center and courthouse square
• Catch a Malakoff Tigers football game on a Friday night in the fall
• Spend a morning at one of the Lake Palestine parks with a picnic and a fishing rod
• Explore the small-town backroads between Malakoff, Trinidad, and Log Cabin
