Lake Stamford is a reservoir located in Haskell County, Texas, and was created by the Stamford Dam in the 1950s. The lake is fed by the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River, which provides a significant portion of its water supply. In addition to the river, the lake is also sustained by various surface runoff and snowpack providers, including rainfall and melting snow. Agriculture is a key industry in the surrounding area, with crops such as cotton, wheat, and sorghum being grown. The lake is also popular for recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and camping. However, in recent years, the lake has experienced periods of low water levels due to drought conditions. Efforts have been made to manage water use and conserve the lake's water supply.
