Lake Whitney, Reservoir in central Texas, United States.
Lake Whitney extends across central Texas with a surface area of water surrounded by limestone cliffs and dense woodland along the Brazos River.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed Whitney Dam between 1948 and 1951 to control flooding and generate hydroelectric power in central Texas.
Lake Whitney State Park maintains multiple designated areas where local residents and visitors participate in fishing tournaments and water sports throughout summer months.
Visitors can access ten different parks around the lake, including facilities for camping, boat launches, swimming areas, and extensive hiking trails.
The McCown Valley Equestrian Area features a 12.5-mile Hopewell Trail system that crosses through rolling hills beside the water.
