About Possum Kingdom

For centuries the raging Brazos River has cut its way through the Palo Pinto Mountains. In the 1940's the river was dammed up
to form a huge lake nestled within the dramatic North Texas hill country. The natural views are absolutely spectacular! Our lake
is one of the clearest lakes in all of Texas. As a result we are a favorite spot for inland scuba diving and boating. Year around
activities include fishing, camping, hiking, golf, mountain bikes and horseback riding. Our lake is only a short drive from Dallas,
Ft. Worth, Wichita Falls and Abilene, Texas.

The dam at Possum Kingdom Lake, was built across the Brazos River in Palo Pinto County in the same area where Oliver
Loving lived in the 1800's (one of the characters in the movie Lonesome Dove) Rumor has it, that it took only a few months to get
full, after heavy spring rains, submerged some of the equipment used to build Possum Kingdom Lake. The lake pool elevation
is 1000 feet. The Dam at Possum Kingdom Lake is about 2000 feet long and as high as a 19 story building. Hydroelectric
power is produced by generators that are located below the dam.

Possum Kingdom Lake covers approx. 310 miles of shoreline which includes sandy beaches, rock cliffs and mountains.
McAdams Peak is the highest point in North Central Texas.There are many lakes in Texas, but none stand out quite as much as
Possum Kingdom Lake. This Texas lake, which is sometimes known as “P.K.”, is a 14,400-acre lake on the Brazos River and is
located mainly in Palo Pinto County Texas. Also known for its clear blue waters, this Texas lake is an amazing place to visit or to
live year round. The activities that are available all seasons bring tourists and residents together. Lots of "snow birds" from
around the U.S. have relocated to this area because of the year round mild climate. You could call it "The Palm Springs of the
South". Truly a great escape from cold weather.
