Randell Lake, located near Denison, Texas, was created in the 1950s by the United States Army Corps of Engineers as a part of the Red River Basin water management system. The lake has a capacity of 16,464 acre-feet and is mainly fed by the outflow from Lake Texoma. Hydrological studies have revealed that the lake has a high water quality, making it suitable for various recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The lake area is also used for agricultural purposes such as grazing cattle, and wildlife habitat. The surface flow to the lake is mainly provided by tributaries of the Red River. Snowpack is not a significant contributor to the lake's water supply.
