Why We Love the Beautiful Lake Hawkins and Nearby Christmas Party at The Red Rooster Ice House

The beautiful Lake Hawkins has a capacity of 11,890 acre-feet and a surface area of 776 acres at the service spillway crest elevation of 343.75 feet above mean sea level.

It has a surface area of 16,919 acres, and a maximum depth of 49.5 feet. The lake was impounded in 1956. This lake’s diverse fish community offers many angling opportunities. White bass are native to the Cypress River Basin; the population is abundant and contains many legal-size fishes.

The park covers about 55 acres, half-wooded, and includes roughly 1800 feet of shoreline on Lake Hawkins, about 700 feet of which is a beautiful white-sand beach.

Hawkins is a city in Wood County, Texas, United States. The population was 1,278 at the 2010 census. It is located twenty miles north of the larger city of Tyler. Just east of the community is Jarvis Christian College, an historically black institution of higher learning.
