About Lake Tawakoni

A Picture of Serenity Just a Stone's Throw From Dallas

Located in northeast Texas, Lake Tawakoni is a quiet spot that is just far enough from the city to be peaceful and yet still convenient. A mere 53 miles from Dallas, this lake is a quick drive down interstate 30.

Over Fifty Years of Beauty

Though Lake Tawakoni was built in 1960, relatively new by modern standards, it features a wealth of amenities. Almost sixty miles of shore, over five of which are governed by a pristine state park, guarantees a favorite spot for just about any leisure activity.

Not Just For Boats

Lake Tawakoni is a popular spot for fishing, swimming, picnics, and camping. RV parks and dedicated campsites ensure that a beautiful spot near the water is waiting. The Tawakoni Golf Club manages a gorgeous eighteen hole course that rests on the state park grounds and faces the southern shore of West Tawakoni.

Tournaments, Festivals and Camping

A variety of sport fishing tournaments, wildlife observation, primitive group camping, and an amphitheater showcase the many and varied activities that happen around Tawakoni. The official park store Lake Tawakoni Trading Post features a wealth of information on what's happening, as well as a spot to stock up on supplies.
