Nestled between Houston and Dallas, this 60-acre lake is part of a 1,600-acre ranch offering both serenity and great fishing. The lake was drained in 2019 and it was restocked in 2020 with coppernose bluegill, red ear sunfish, fathead minnows, threadfin shad and pure Florida bass.

The lake’s depth varies, with the deeper areas reaching up to 20 feet, while the back third of the lake remains shallower, under 5 feet, providing different habitats for aquatic life. The rock ramp offers easy access for launching full-size bass boats, and the covered dock adds to the charm and convenience of the area. It’s also great that the all-weather ranch road makes access quick and easy, enhancing the overall enjoyment of this private oasis.
