Discover Malakoff RV rentals for memorable road trips

Malakoff is a city in Henderson County, Texas, named after a Russian fort that was prominent in the Crimean War. It was initially known as Caney Creek and Mitcham Chapel, names already being used as post offices; the postal service rejected the city's names for its post office application and recommended “Malakoff” instead. One of Malakoff's claims to fame is its “Malakoff Man” discovery, a collection of three carved heads; further excavation of the discovery site yielded no results, and their origin is a mystery. Some suggest they were carved by a Mesoamerican culture, the Olmecs. Malakoff relied on coal mining earlier to support its economy; brick production was added later. The unusual local soil yielded a type of clay that was used to make the bricks. A local citizen, Mr. Thomas Anthony Bartlett, created a procedure in 1904 for artificially coloring the bricks which led to a new era of architectural elegance.

No license is required, and anglers can try for catch-and-release bass, catfish, and crappie (the catfish and crappie can be kept). Visitors can also canoe, kayak or swim in the lake.

Keep your Malakoff RV trailer rental close by and take your catch of fish straight from the lake to the fridge, until it is time to cook it.
