Lake Texoma, Reservoir at Texas-Oklahoma border, United States
Lake Texoma extends across 89,000 acres with 580 miles of shoreline between Texas and Oklahoma, reaching depths of 100 feet.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed Denison Dam in 1944, creating Lake Texoma for flood control and power generation purposes.
The reservoir attracts 6 million visitors annually, establishing itself as the most frequented lake within the USACE Tulsa District jurisdiction.
Anglers can purchase a special Lake Texoma license for 12 dollars, permitting fishing throughout the entire reservoir regardless of state boundaries.
The reservoir contains sufficient salt deposits from the Red River to sustain a natural population of striped bass, uncommon in freshwater environments.
