 Fin & Feather Resort - A Sparkling Diamond In The Pineywoods
It’s always great to work with nice people.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting with Terri Ward, the new owner of Fin & Feather Resort and we talked about some of the new and exciting things that are taking place at the resort.
Terri Ward is a multi-talented lady that has background in many areas that cannot help but make Fin & Feather Resort one of the showplaces of our state. She has been involved in other operations that include Tranquility Bay in Louisiana, a resort business at Lake Livingston, Auburn Château in Houston and a number of others, so she knows her stuff.
Terri is very open-minded Christian lady that basically loves what she is doing. It is a breath of fresh air to listen to her talk about the changes she wants to do at Fin & Feather Resort that would not only benefit our community but help it continue to grow. 
According to Fin & Feather Resort - Manager Kim Hill, many of the immediate plans involve family activities, attracting conventions and bass tournaments and the addition of a first class restaurant that is now open for business. The size of the restaurant bar and grill area was doubled in a recent remodeling - and it looks absolutely great!
The newly remodeled restaurant will seat 120 folks and in the near future a liquor license will be in place so you can enjoy your favorite adult beverage with your meal. The restaurant will soon be changing from winter to summer hours so be sure to call (409-579-2056) ahead to verify the hours the restaurant will be open. 
Fin & Feather Resort has no shortage of sleeping facilities. There are 30 motel rooms, 16 cabins and 17 RV stations, with more RV hook-up areas planed for the near future.
 And what a beautiful area it is. Majestic pine trees and beautiful Toledo Bend Lake make this a picturesque area that will fit any occasion. Add to this the flowering dogwoods, azaleas, bluebonnets and wisteria and you have a spectacular display of Mother Nature’s handiwork.
A fully equipped Convention Center that seats 300 can easily handle events like the recent Professional Anglers Association Tournament, weddings or large family reunions. State of the art cooking facilities are also connected to the Convention Center. Want to play a game of pool? .. Then check out the adjoining game room. 
And don’t worry about bringing all that “stuff” from home because the office/store has a fully stocked area with grocery and personal items, cold drinks, bait and most anything else you need. Bring your swim suit during the warmer months because the swimming pool and hot tub will be the place to be.
 Twenty boat stalls are available for safe storage of your boat during your stay and two boat ramps are available to make launching that boat quick and easy.
If you need a good fishing guide there are a number available such as pro angler Stephen Johnston, Mike Haimen and Bill Foundren to help you catch those big bass or crappie.
Toledo Bend is the South’s largest manmade lake with sparkling waters that provide 1,250 miles of shoreline - and lot’s of fish. In fact, some folks state that Toledo Bend is the Bass Fishing Capital of the World.
Future plans are to provide boat and bicycle rentals, possibly expand the parking area and do whatever it takes to make Fin & Feather the number one resort facility in our state.
Another item we discussed was Fin & Feathers possible involvement in a future women’s professional fishing circuit. As most of you now know, the women’s professional fishing circuit was recently cancelled. Terri Ward and I discussed the possibility of helping to form a new women’s circuit that could be available in the future. More on this issue as additional folks are contacted and plans are formulated. What a great idea to have a women’s professional fishing circuit based here at Toledo Bend Lake.
So there you are, a brief look at what I consider to be one of the finest organizations in our community -- Fin & Feather Resort. Drop by and visit with them – It’s a picture-book place with undisturbed natural beauty and great people. You sure won’t be disappointed.  Good Fishing -- JB
