Rocky Shores

Adventure awaits on the shores of Lake Texoma! Explore trails along high bluffs, splash at our sandy swimming cove, or fish for striped bass, crappie and catfish. Connect to nature just an hour north of Dallas.

Things to Do

Walk or bike more than four miles of trails. Find places to swim, boulder, geocache or picnic along the shore­line. Play horseshoes or enjoy a push on the swings. Look for native Texas wildflowers and for fossils left from an ancient ocean. (Remember: Take only photographs and leave only footprints.)
