White Rock Lake

1,088 acres • Max depth 20 ft

White Rock Lake in the heart of Dallas is not a large reservoir but has an excellent crappie population. Catch rates of crappie in population surveys are some of the highest of any Texas reservoir. The lake has a boat engine horsepower limit (9.9), which might discourage some boat anglers from fishing it, but it certainly makes it welcoming for kayak and canoe anglers. The lake features fishing piers for anglers without boats or kayaks, and reed beds provide cover for fish.
