It is an artificial lake formed in the early 1960s by the construction of the 5720-foot long Blackburn Crossing Dam on the Neches River[2]. The project was started in 1960 and completed on June 13, 1962. The resulting lake is 18 miles long, stretching northwest to southeast, with 135 miles of shoreline. The widest part of the lake is 4 miles across[3]. According to the Texas Water Development Board 2012 Survey, the storage capacity of Lake Palestine is 367,312 acre-feet with a surface area of 23,112 acres at the conservation pool elevation of 345 feet above mean sea level. The drainage area above the dam is approximately 839 square miles[4]. The Tarrant Regional Water District and the City of Dallas Water Utilities partnered to build a $2.3 billion pipeline which extends 150 miles from Lake Palestine to Lake Benbrook. The project began in 2014 and is expected to be completed in phases between 2018 and 2030. Area businesses expressed alarm at the possibility that cities could pump the lake dry at any time, however officials stated that lake level declines would be 50 percent from evaporation and 50 percent pumped water, in line with management at other lakes[5]. FishingThe lake offers an array of freshwater fish species including bass, crappie and catfish. GeographyThe lake is primarily fed by waters from the Neches River and Kickapoo Creek.
