Lake Tawakoni, Recreational reservoir in eastern Texas, United States.
Lake Tawakoni spans 37,879 acres across Van Zandt, Rains, and Hunt counties, reaching depths of 70 feet with five miles of shoreline.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the Tawakoni Dam in the 1960s to establish this reservoir for flood control and water supply.
Local communities organize fishing tournaments and educational programs focused on outdoor skills and conservation throughout the seasons at Lake Tawakoni.
Visitors can access multiple boat ramps, camping sites with full hookups, and a trading post that sells fishing supplies and refreshments.
The state park gained recognition for containing the largest documented spider web, while supporting populations of striped bass and channel catfish.
