Caddo Lake is the only naturally occurring lake in Texas. It is on the border with Louisiana.

Many sites claim that there is only one natural lake in Texas, that being Caddo Lake on the Texas-Louisiana border. However, this neglects some oxbow lakes and other smaller lakes. Green Lake is a natural tidal lake in Calhoun County, Texas, on the Guadalupe River flood basin. There are some other small naturally occurring lakes in Texas, like Mitchell Lake in San Antonio, but most of the other lakes in Texas are reservoirs and not naturally occurring lakes.

How many natural lakes are there in Texas?

The State of Texas has many beautiful lakes on which to boat, swim, and fish. However, only one of them - Caddo Lake - is natural. Caddo Lake is found in East Texas and along (and into) the State of Louisiana. All other lakes are either the work of the Army Corps of Engineers, or are just a narrowing in existing rivers (example: Sabine Lake on the Sabine River). For more information on the history of Caddo Lake in Texas visit below. Sabine Lake is a natural salt water estuary on the Texas-Louisiana border, and is over 90,000 acres in mass. Sabine Lake is much older than Caddo Lake by a couple of hundred years, and is seven miles wide by fourteen miles long. Caddo Lake is only 25,000 acres, and was created by an earthquake and the subsequent log jamb that dammed the river, creating Caddo Lake around 1812. There are many natural lakes in Texas, but most are small. Two naturally occurring lakes in Texas are Green Lake and Caddo Lake. Caddo Lake is on the Texas-Louisiana border northeast of Houston. It is no longer considered a natural lake because it has been dammed up around the turn of the 20th century. Green Lake is a natural tidal lake in Calhoun County, Texas, on the Guadalupe River flood basin. There are some other small naturally occurring lakes in Texas, like Mitchell Lake in San Antonio, but most of the other lakes in Texas are reservoirs and not naturally occurring lakes.

How many lakes in Texas?

Only one natural lake in the State: Lake Caddo. Actually, the above answer is false. Sabine Lake is also a natural lake, and is over 90,000 acres in mass. Sabine Lake is much older than Caddo Lake by a several hundred years, and is seven miles wide by fourteen miles long. Caddo Lake is only 25,000 acres, and was created by an earthquake and the subsequent log jam that dammed the river, creating Caddo Lake around 1812. Sabine Lake is fed by the Neches and Sabine Rivers, and has several marsh areas. Sabine Lake feeds into the gulf at Sabine Pass, Sabine Lake is primarily brackish water, caused by the salt water from the gulf, and the fresh water supplied by the two rivers.
