- ★★★★★9 months agoBeautiful place to visit Was a dreadfully windy day when I was there But the lake is beautiful Looks like would be some good fishing
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoI have to say this is our family go to place on this Texas heat! We did not mind the drive. We love the feeling of the sand but it does get hot 🥵 beside that my fur babies and kids love this lake! We might even move to this area. Down side is people cannot clean after themselves especially at the bbq area.. smh. Someone always had to ruin this beautiful lake for everyone else. Some people don’t common courtesy.
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoIt's close, about the only good I can say. none of the ramps are that great either unprotected from wind and waves or way too flat and shallow. The water is muddy and smells. The fishing is ok, but surrounding lakes are much better.
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoNice lake, good size, there are several corps of engineers campgrounds on this lake. I recommend Speegleville park or Airport park campgrounds to get a campsite near the waters edge.
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoMany great parks to enjoy. Well maintained and comfortably spaced parks.
