Do You Know Which Lake is The Deepest in Texas?

From San Antonio, Texas, to Abilene, Texans love lakes. But there are still a lot of misunderstandings surrounding them. To this day, many Texans believe that there is only one non-man-made lake in the state. But is that true?

Nope, that is FALSE. There are, in fact, many natural lakes here in the Lone Star State. Some Texans mistakenly think that Caddo Lake is the only natural lake in the state.

It turns out it's not even really a lake; it's technically more of a swamp, which, because of man-made dams, is becoming a lake.

Do You Know Which Lake is The Deepest in Texas?

You can find that one on the Texas-Mexico border; it's the Amistad Reservoir. That lake goes as deep as 217 feet at its deepest point, according to this story. If you're curious, Lake Travis outside of Austin is the second deepest. At its deepest point, it is 210 feet down.

So, which is Texas's largest reservoir?

That would be Toledo Bend Reservoir, which is east of Lufkin on the Texas-Louisiana border. Not only is it the largest lake in Texas by volume, but it is also the largest man-made lake.

According to this post, "it was formed by building a dam on the Sabine River and boasts a maximum depth of 110 feet. With a surface area of 185,000 acres, the reservoir holds 4,477,000 acre-feet of water."
