Many, Toledo Town, and the Surrounding Area

This is the best (and only) method for getting into Many, short of having a personal plane. There are three routes into the city.

• US Highway 171 from Shreveport to the north or Leesville and Lake Charles to the south.
• Louisiana Highway 6 from Toledo Town and the Texas state line to the west or Natchitoches to the east.
• Louisiana Highway 175 from Mansfield and Pleasant Hill to the north. This highway terminates at Many.

A car is going to be the most practical method for getting around town and the local area.

• Sabine Parish Fair is held during the last full week of September. Parades, carnival rides, and a rodeo.

Probably the biggest reason people visit Many is to take advantage of the outdoor recreation at Toledo Bend Reservoir. The 65-mile-long (110 km) reservoir offers a wide variety of both land and water recreation activities. Many often acts as a base and a jumping off point for people heading to the massive body of water on the Louisiana-Texas state line. Perhaps some of the most sought after activities at the reservoir are:

• Watch a sunset on the shores of Toledo Bend.
• Fishing for largemouth bass and crappie
• Hiking and bicycling at North Toledo Bend State Park
• Renting a cabin or parking an RV at any number of sites along the shoreline

Louisiana State Parks operates a handful of facilities on Toledo Bend that offer a wide variety of activities.
