LAKE TAWAKONI
Lake Tawakoni and its 200 miles of shoreline are located approximately 50 miles east of Dallas and 32 miles south of Greenville. The reservoir’s primary purpose is to provide water for the surrounding communities and the City of Dallas. Additionally, the lake provides recreation for much of central and northeast Texas. Fishing for catfish is the lake specialty. The predominant fish species are catfish, striped and hybrid striped bass, white bass, crappie and largemouth bass.
In 2001, West Tawakoni, located at the west end of the 2-mile Bridge, was awarded the distinction of being the Catfish Capital of Texas by the Texas State Legislature. In 1995, The Texas Legislature declared Wills Point the Bluebird Capital of Texas. The National Audubon Society determined that the community has hosted more bluebirds than any other area in Texas.
Lake Tawakoni is still a virtually undiscovered lake in Texas. It is clean and uncrowded, its size making it ideal for recreational water sports, and Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni RV Campground is the perfect place to camp while you enjoy the area.
