LK Daniel is a reservoir located in Stephens County, Texas. The lake was created by damming Hubbard Creek and has a surface area of approximately 2,550 acres. The lake was constructed in 1959 by the city of Breckenridge for municipal water supply purposes. The hydrology of the lake is heavily influenced by the surrounding land use, including agriculture and oil and gas activities. The lake is also fed by several creeks and streams, which provide important surface flow. Snowpack is not a significant source of water for LK Daniel, as the area experiences a subtropical climate. The lake is used for both recreational and agricultural purposes, including boating, fishing, and irrigation for nearby farms.
