Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Lake Texoma is a man-made lake on the Red River between Texas and Oklahoma. The lake was created in 1944 with the completion of the Denison Dam, and since then has become a popular destination for both recreational and agricultural activities. The lake covers an area of 89,000 acres and has a maximum depth of 100 feet. The hydrology of Lake Texoma is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who control the flow of water through the Denison Dam. The lake receives water from several rivers and streams, including the Red River, Washita River, and Little Mineral Creek. In addition, snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains also contributes to the lake's water supply. The lake is used for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and camping, and also provides water for irrigation and other agricultural uses.
