Lake Tawakoni, located near Wills Point, Texas, was created in 1960 by the construction of a dam on the Sabine River. The lake serves as a water source for many surrounding cities and is also popular for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The hydrology of the lake is mostly controlled by rainfall, with occasional contributions from snowmelt. The Sabine River Authority manages the lake's water levels, ensuring a consistent water supply for downstream users. The lake provides irrigation water for surrounding agricultural land, mostly devoted to corn, wheat, and soybeans. Additionally, the lake is stocked with a variety of fish species, including bass, catfish, and crappie, making it a popular destination for anglers.
