Overview

Recreation

Visitors come to Flatrock for fishing, boating and simple relaxation. The popular catches on the lake include largemouth bass, sunfish and white crappie. When water levels are high enough, water skiing is also a fun sport here.

Facilities

More than 50 campsites have water and electric hookups - ten of which have sewer hookups. Seven group shelters are available for day use. The swim beach, open to all overnight campers, is in Flatrock Park in area #1.

Boat ramps, fishing piers are additional amenities at the park.

Due to low lake levels all boat ramps are CLOSED

Natural Features

Hords Creek Lake is in the center of Texas, north of the Texas Hill Country. Gently rolling hills covered with live oaks make Hords Creek Lake a beautiful getaway, despite the sometimes unbearable heat.

Nearby Attractions

Circle the lake to cruise through neighboring Friendship Park and Lakeside Park.

For a dose of city conveniences, head to Coleman, just eight miles east of the lake.
