On the water

Very large freshwater body with exceptional fetch. Chop can become significant in strong winds due to the large lake size. Murky water with a brownish tint typical of East Texas lakes. Variable depth. Submerged tree stumps frequent in many areas. Conditions range from flat water to sustained chop.

Hazards

Very numerous submerged tree stumps — major hazard on this lake. Large size makes returning to shore difficult if wind drops. Severe thunderstorms possible in spring and summer. Boat traffic on weekends. Lake level can vary. Relatively remote — riding with a partner recommended.
