Coleto Creek Reservoir, Reservoir in Fannin, Texas, United States

Coleto Creek Reservoir is a reservoir on Coleto Creek and Perdido Creek, 15 miles southwest of Victoria, Texas. Its surface crosses the Fannin area and extends into Victoria and Goliad Counties. The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority formed it in 1980 with a dam, and the lake serves as a cooling pond for electric power generation. Cattail, pondweed, American lotus, rushes and hydrilla grow in the water.

The reservoir was created in the 1980s when a dam was built and functions primarily as a cooling pond for a nearby power plant. The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority has managed its water levels and operations since its completion.

The reservoir serves as a gathering place for local fishing enthusiasts and boaters who regularly come with family and friends to spend time outdoors. Water-based recreation shapes how people in the region use their leisure time and creates a simple community space tied to the natural landscape.

The reservoir is easy to reach by car with parking available near the park and boat ramp areas. Visitors can bring their own boats or find rental options nearby, while walking trails and fishing spots are readily accessible.

The reservoir supports several fish species including largemouth bass that can weigh multiple pounds, white bass found in deeper areas, and multiple catfish types. Artificial fish structures have been added in recent years to improve breeding habitat and enhance fishing opportunities for all visitors.
