Lavon Lake, a 21,400-acre freshwater reservoir with a maximum depth of 38 feet. Created by the Lavon Dam between 1948 and 1953 to prevent seasonal flooding in Collin County, it also serves for water storage. The lake, formed by impounding the East Fork of the Trinity River and its tributaries, is renowned for fishing, featuring largemouth bass, white bass, blue catfish, and crappie. Enjoy the scenic views but use caution as you're sharing the road with other vehicles.
