Centrally located between Dallas, Austin/San Antonio and Houston, this lake should be a good draw for members in all our major Texas markets. Harding Lake is a 20-acre lake on a beautiful ranch just East of Fairfield. Our electro-fish survey produced many healthy bass over 3 lbs and a good forage base of bluegill.

Bank fishing at this lake will be very limited as there are cattails surrounding the majority of the lake. There is a dock and a 2 person pontoon boat available for members to use during their trip.

There is a great all weather road that gets you into the heart of the ranch and from there, a concrete road that takes you to Harding Lake. Please follow the directions closely and drive slowly, there is one spot on the road that has washed out and is marked with a cone.

Please harvest all bass under 14 inches along with any crappie and catfish you catch.

There is NO boat launch at this lake. The pontoon boat is large and having a trolling motor of 40 lb thrust or larger is recommended.

Please note there are two lodging opportunities at this ranch and all lodging includes fishing. All lodging opportunities must be made through the club office as they are currently not available to be booked on line.

Lake Lodge is a beautiful, fully equipped 2 bedroom lodge overlooking Red Lake. There is a spacious living room that opens to the kitchen and dining area and a large outdoor patio.
