Highlight • Lake

White Rock Lake is a 1,254-acre reservoir formed by the damming of White Rock Creek. The creek flows into the lake and exits through a spillway before joining the Trinity River. The lake, with a maximum depth of 18 feet, is a popular spot for fishing, offering largemouth bass, channel catfish, and white crappie. Cyclists can circumnavigate the whole trail on paved pathways.
