Elevation469 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryRolling hills meet the lake's edge at 469 feet elevation, creating a mix of open shoreline and partially shaded groves. Native wildflower meadows bloom between camping areas, with bluebonnets putting on their best show in April and May. Wildlife is a constant presence. Deer wander through at dawn and dusk, and squirrels work the oak trees throughout the day. The lake itself handles most water activities without drama. Site-to-site scenery varies considerably. Some spots sit right on the water. Others are set back in tree cover. The terrain isn't flat, which gives certain sites better views but can complicate leveling.
