I’m a big fan of lakes and there are plenty of them here in Texas. One of my favorites is about 90 miles west of Fort Worth, Possum Kingdom Lake. This lake is a great destination for all of the RV owners out there who have toy haulers and love bringing their jet skis along with them. For all the boat owners out there, you’ll love the 19,000 acres of deep waters to take your boat out and enjoy the lake. Here are just a few reasons you should consider Possum Kingdom for your next vacation.
Boating & Fishing
You’ll love getting the boat out of storage and into the water at Possum Kindgom. Plenty of clear water and fishing space to cast a reel and enjoy the day out on the water. The 310 miles of coastline and cliffs will keep you safe from the wind so you can enjoy the calm waters and smooth rides for jet skis. For the fisherman in your family, they’ll love how well-stocked the lake is with largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass, white bass, spotted bass, crappie, and bream.
Hiking and Biking
The areas surrounding the lake are majestic rolling hills that are great for hikers and bikers. There are trails for everyone, from the most novice to experienced hikers, to enjoy the scenery and grab some exercise. There’s even a nature trail for you to take the little ones to teach them about the plants and animals native to Texas.
RV Sites
You’re in luck, RVers. Possum Kingdom Lake is surrounded by RV parks so you’ll very rarely ever hear of it being full or turning people away from their parks. Be sure to check out the East side parks and the West side parks and select the one that’s closest to the attractions that you want to see. I recommend taking a peek at Hell’s Gate. It’s amazing!
