Proctor Lake was impounded in 1963 by the Fort Worth District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which dammed the Leon River about 3 miles west of Proctor, Texas. The reservoir was built to hold 374,200 acre-feet for flood control and drinking water downstream. Its fish populations, stocked for recreational fishing, include largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, catfish and white crappie.

The lake takes its name from the small nearby settlement of Proctor. On weekends, families and fishing enthusiasts from across the region gather along its shores, making it a hub of outdoor life in Comanche County.

Several parks around the lake offer camping, picnic areas, and walking trails, so it helps to decide in advance which area suits your plans. Sowell Creek Park has a roped-off swimming area, but there is no lifeguard on duty, so plan accordingly.
