This 1,020-acre lake has a maximum depth of approximately 30 feet and was impounded in 1969. Managed by the City of Bonham, the lake features waterfront homes, private docks, and recreational facilities, including boat ramps, camping, a swimming beach, and picnic areas. Boathouses and docks are permitted with written approval from the City of Bonham, subject to applicable regulations and property restrictions. Lake Bonham offers buyers an appealing combination of small-town charm and lakeside living.

Lake Ray Roberts
Located north of Denton near Sanger, Pilot Point, and Aubrey, Lake Ray Roberts is a scenic North Texas reservoir spanning portions of Denton, Cooke, and Grayson counties. The lake covers approximately 25,600 surface acres, reaches a maximum depth of 106 feet, and was impounded in 1987. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Lake Ray Roberts offers excellent fishing, boating, camping, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Ray Roberts Lake State Park features multiple recreation areas, including Isle du Bois and Johnson Branch, along with marinas and public boat ramps. Because this is a USACE-controlled lake, private boathouses and docks are subject to federal shoreline regulations and restrictions, and buyers should not assume private dock construction is permitted. With its natural beauty, wooded shorelines, and convenient access to the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Lake Ray Roberts is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and buyers seeking a peaceful lakeside lifestyle.
