This place has a big chunk of land, about 100 acres in all, with 15 acres of water. There's a small 3-acre lake that flows into a bigger 10-acre one. Plus, there are 4 more little ponds surrounding the big lakes where ducks like to hang out. If you're into jumping around smaller ponds, those work too. The lake is less than an hour from Dallas, so it's a quick drive. When it's hunting time, most folks set up in a hiding spot on the east side of the big lake, on the west side near the road, or at the point in the northwest corner. To hunt this lake, you'll need waterproof waders. This lake slopes gently, and the water near the edges is pretty shallow, which makes putting out and picking up decoys easy. You'll find cattails along most of the east side of the lake, perfect for staying hidden. And there's plenty of underwater plants to keep the ducks happy.

Requirements

Waders are required if hunting from the blind.

General Directions

Approx 1 hour north of Downtown Dallas. Only 1 mile west of 75 N.

Hunting Report

Activity, but skittish birds

Ty Maple on Jan 19 ,2026

Cold morning, hunted north side of main lake. Saw some larger groups than we've been seeing, but couldn't get anything interested in our setup.   

1/10 hunt — exact same report as 1/3

Rodney Carroll on Jan 11 ,2026

A few small groups of 3 or 4 birds flew by with no interest in our spread.   Weather was perfect.
