16,000 acre Lower Boise d'Arc Reservoir near Bonham approved

Looks like Texas is getting a new lake.

I wish they would turn Lake Bonham into a powerplant lake

Does the water flow north or is that picture upside down.

good to hear they are finally building a new lake in Texas. Need more but I know its a touchy subject, and can't blame them.

Yes it does. It eventually dumps into the Red.

Yes it flow in a northeasterly direction.

Yay! Bring it on!

Picture is correct.

Red River flow east along the Oklahoma/Texas Border

ETA?

Opens 2022, construction starts this year.

Get up there and take a bunch of pictures before they fill it.

Is it going to be constructed like Fork, timber left standing, brood ponds, etc.. - per say? Or is it too early to tell??

Road trip.... hand held GPS or take a big GPS and start plotting spots in a year or two?

people have been marking gps spots on foot for a few years now. the original announcement was a long time ago.

Yep, Dam will be right where a friend hunts. He knows every inch of that country

good friend to have...

Heard TPWD is cutting trees and killing grass in preparation for the new lake.

didn't they when fork was built?

You're kidding right ?

Wish we could get another lake around here, but we can’t even fill the lakes we have now.

With today's technology (Google earth,etc) it won't be hard to mark anything that's under water. Unless they do some tree cutting and stuff and it doesn't get pictures taken

drone time...

That’ll be a mallard factory for sure.
