About
Sherman is a city in North Texas, and it makes an easy base for a visit centred on the outdoors. Its most notable neighbour is Lake Texoma, one of the largest reservoirs in the country, where visitors come for fishing, boating and water sports.
The historic downtown
Sherman's downtown district holds well-preserved 19th-century architecture, and it is the natural place to spend an unhurried afternoon on foot. Browsing the antique shops is a pleasant way to pass the time, and the local restaurants give you a chance to sit down and eat between stops.
Lake Texoma and the surrounding area
For many visitors the lake is the main draw. The reservoir suits anglers, people who like to be out on the water, and anyone wanting a change of pace from city life. Because Sherman sits close to it, you can combine a day on the water with time in town.

Events through the year
Sherman hosts popular community events, including an annual hot air balloon event, so it is worth checking what is scheduled when you plan your trip. Such gatherings give the city a lively character beyond its quieter streets.
