About Lake Whitney
Lake Whitney is one of central Texas's premier fishing and recreation lakes: a 23,500-acre Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Brazos River with world-class striped bass, largemouth bass, and white bass fisheries. Lake Whitney State Park sits on the eastern shore, where you can swim, camp, and launch from the boat ramps. The lake draws serious anglers from across the region, and its clear water makes it a favorite for water skiing, tubing, and summer recreation. From Itasca Creek, it is a perfect day-trip fishing destination.
Highlights
- World-class striped bass fishery: Whitney produces trophy-class fish regularly
- Largemouth and white bass, crappie, and catfish also excellent
- Lake Whitney State Park: beach swimming, camping, and a full boat ramp
- Multiple public boat ramps and marinas for easy water access
- Water skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, all excellent for summer recreation
- Nolan River arm, a quieter, shallower section popular with kayakers and paddleboarders
- Whitney Dam: a 150-foot concrete dam, an engineering marvel worth seeing up close
