ABOUT THE WATER

Plan the lake, not just the trip.

Lake Livingston is a major Trinity River reservoir spanning Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity and Walker counties, about 50 miles north of Houston. It covers roughly 90,000 acres, reaches about 77 feet at maximum depth, was impounded in 1969, and is managed by the Trinity River Authority.

TPWD documents largemouth bass, white and striped bass, blue, channel and flathead catfish, crappie and sunfish. Native emergent vegetation is concentrated in upper areas and protected coves, while water hyacinth occurs around the reservoir. The large shoreline and extensive public-access network also make Livingston a strong fit for FishRook's public-water plus privately hosted waterfront-access model.

Managing authority: Trinity River Authority PO Box 360 Livingston, Texas 77351 (936) 365-2292

Aquatic vegetation: Native emergent plants are limited to the upper areas of the reservoir and in the backs of coves and embayments. The floating exotic water hyacinth is found throughout the reservoir.

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.
