| A lake resident pointed me in the right direction for locating these hard to find maps. I bought 20 and will sell them for $12.00 each as opposed to the $15 on the Hook n Line site. 4 Maps Left (I bought some more) |
| This fisherman (look closely) takes advantage of a cool morning. You can barely make out the boat with the mist that is coming off the warmer lake water. |
| This is a 1968 photo of the lake. This was shot in the cove where Golden acres and Linwood Estates face eachother. Far right of the Marina (facing). This is a photo that Henry Kjellander had on file. This is looking towards the Marina. |
| If this old house could talk it would have some stories to tell. The home located near the Marina has deteriorated over the years and seems to be doomed to becoming rubble. It is said the home was occupied by descendants of local slave families. |
| Houston County lake is described by many as being the jewel of East Texas. Located just outside of Crockett and half way between Houston and Dallas this little known gem has to be the best kept secret in Texas! Visitors and residents alike enjoy the lakes cool spring fed waters as well as the hilly wooded terrain. The lack of crowds allow visitors the chance to explore the wooded shoreline, or enjoy family and friends for a day of water sports or fishing! Learn more (click here) |
| It won't be long before the Houston County lake boat parade and fireworks show takes place. It seems to grow every year as more residents and visitors join in the fun. Every year we watch as the individual fireworks shows seem to grow in size. I have heard tales of neighbors having friendly battles over who's show is the best. Fortunately these competitions seem to benefit everyone on the lake. |
March guests Charlie Garland and family from Kingwood says: Brenda and Mark, We really enjoyed your home, just wish we had more time to stay. . Around 12:15 today we were about to make our last cast and head back to the house to leave and I caught an 11.015 bass. We weighed it on the official scale at the marina. It was icing on the cake to a great time. Charlie and his son Douglas (a Houston Firefighter) each landed a nice fish. Douglas's fish weighed in near 9 lbs. www.etexasrentals.com |
