Benbrook Lake is a reservoir located on the Clear Fork of the Trinity River in Texas, USA. The lake was created in 1952 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide flood control, water supply, and recreation. The hydrology of Benbrook Lake is primarily fed by the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, which is also the main surface flow provider. In addition, during the winter season, snowpack provides significant runoff that contributes to the lake's hydrology. The lake serves as a vital source of water supply for the city of Fort Worth and other surrounding areas. Agriculture activities are minimal around the lake, while recreational uses include boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and bird-watching. Overall, Benbrook Lake plays a crucial role in providing various benefits to the region.
