Perhaps it's the lake's ideal location in the center of the Metroplex, or its excellent fishing, beautifully shaded parks and clean beaches that contribute to its popularity. Whatever the reason, this shimmering body of water offers something for everyone.

Fishermen find the lake excellent for bass, catfish and crappie fishing. Water skiers, boaters and sailors appreciate the 7,500 surface-acre lake's wide-open spaces. Picnickers and campers enjoy the tranquil and lush parks and trails.

Whether for recreation or living, the Joe Pool Lake area offers nature near the city.
