The Sabine River Authority (SRA) operates the 36,700 surface-acre reservoir of Lake Tawakoni and Iron Bridge Dam on the headwaters of the Sabine River. A number of historic Indian tribes settled in the surrounding land area prior to construction of the reservoir in 1960, giving Lake Tawakoni its name. In order to provide stewardship of the natural resources present, the SRA strives to achieve a balance between recreational demands of the region and preservation of natural resources.
The primary purpose of Lake Tawakoni is to provide a municipal and industrial water supply for the surrounding communities, the city of Dallas and the North Texas Municipal water district. Due to its extensive 200-mile shoreline, Lake Tawakoni also serves as a source of water-oriented recreation for much of central northeast Texas. The Lake is a popular attraction for swimming, fishing and water-skiing alike.
