Waco Lake, Reservoir in McLennan County, Texas.
Lake Waco covers 8,190 acres with an average depth of 20 feet and reaches a maximum depth of 85 feet above sea level.
The original dam constructed in 1930 was replaced in 1965 with a new structure measuring 24,618 feet in length and 140 feet in height.
Four parks surrounding Lake Waco provide spaces for community gatherings, educational programs about wildlife, and water safety demonstrations throughout summer months.
The reservoir includes multiple boat ramps, two marinas, designated camping areas, and extensive parking facilities accessible from major highways in the region.
The Waco Wetlands, established in 2001 at the upper section of the lake, functions as a research laboratory through collaboration between the city and Baylor University.
