A little about Richland Chambers Lake

Richland-Chambers is one of the largest lakes in Texas, it was constructed in the early 1980s by Tarrant Regional Water District with over 330 miles of shoreline. Its rural setting makes it a perfect retreat for uninterrupted time on the water. Located in Navarro and Freestone counties, this 45,000 surface acre lake makes it the 3rd largest inland lake in Texas. RC lake includes private marina’s, docks and ramps, and public access ramps on the lake that make getting on the water a breeze. With almost 50 communities to date around the lake, most require site built homes, have deed restrictions, and home owners associations and/or architectural control committees. Richland Chambers is fed by 2 large creeks. Chambers Creek delivers water from the North and Richland Creek is located Southwest of the lake. These 2 creeks constitute a large watershed area of over 1900 square miles that allows this Texas lake to rebound and fill quickly during times of run-off rains.

Boating and Fishing

Richland Chambers, being Texas 3rd largest inland lake, offers wide open recreational areas and protected coves for recreational boaters, skiers and family fun! Personal watercraft are allowed at Richland Chambers. Sailing enthusiasts enjoy the large East to West expanse on the Richland arm and Richland Chambers is reported to be the largest inland sailing basin in Texas.

Fishermen have long enjoyed the excellent fishing and habitat at this Texas lake as evidenced by the annual bass fishing tournaments held here each year. Regular stocking by Texas Parks and Wildlife has contributed to some of the finest fishing in the state with strong populations of crappie, sand bass, hybrid bass, blue cat and yellow catfish.

Being located near the Trinity River (a natural flyway for water fowl) offers a diverse population of ducks, geese and teal for hunters while pelicans and other birds including the majestic Bald Eagle are abundant to the delight of birdwatchers and waterfront lake house owners throughout the lake area.
