ABOUT THE WATER

Plan the lake, not just the trip.

Cedar Creek Reservoir is a 32,623-acre reservoir on Cedar Creek in Henderson and Kaufman counties, about 15 miles west of Athens. Texas Parks & Wildlife highlights largemouth bass, blue and channel catfish, white and hybrid striped bass, and crappie among its predominant sport fish.

Managing authority: Tarrant Regional Water District 6613 Ashby Lane Trinidad, Texas 75163 (903) 432-2814

Aquatic vegetation: Native emergent, submergent and floating, light in coves and creek arms in lower end of the lake

Fishrook organizes official waterbody information and private hosted access in one place. A Fishrook reservation applies only to the host's described private access space—not to the public lake itself.
