A lake is natural, a reservoir is man made. Caddo is the only natural lake in Texas.

I thought a reservoir was used to supply water to a city, where a lake is just a body of water. Thus this is the first reservoir to be built in the last 30 years not the first lake in that time.

Well, there are some others with asterics

Big Lake--Reagan County. Usually stays dry these days (the natural springs that feed it were disrupted by mining activity)
Sabine lake--It's mostly in Louisiana and is partly salt water
Green Lake--It's just south east of Victoria--a natural tidal lake
Natural dam lake--usually dry

Caddo is now partially managed by a man made dam, so there are those that argue it isn't 100% natural anymore.

This'll be a good one!

This'll be a good one!

Cotton was king in that black dirt back in the day. Till' it played out. Then it grew Bois'd Arc trees and cattle. All the fence post on our ranch were Bois'd Arc cut with a crosscut saw by my Dad and the hired help..... they will play heck on a fiberglass boat and will be there another 100 years. Be careful out there.

Reservoirs, lakes, same thing in texas. There is only one lake in Texas that is not man made and that is Caddo Lake. They all serve to provide water for humans nearby. I hope we get another one closer to Rockwall. The NTMWD is raping cities with water rates. They even charge us for water that we don't use. My water bills are beyond ridiculous. The nextdoor sites are lit up with people complaining and the NTMWD has the cities and their citizens by the short hairs. My water bills are between $200 and $300 a month. No leaks, minimal watering to save foundation settling. My electricity bills are 1/2 of that in the dead of summer. I can shop for electricity providers but not water, since there is but one. I think that is called a monopoly and the people are getting fed up with being hammered.
