Lake Ray Roberts State Park

The afternoon of June 9th JoAnn and I traveled to Lake Ray Roberts State Park. A popular area which includes a large lake, shorelines from which to swim and fish from, and boat ramps for launching recreational boats. The lake is a 29,350 acre reservoir located 10 miles north of Denton, Texas. It is filled by a tributary of the Trinity River and was named after Ray Roberts in 1980.

We have driven by car to the park and the entrance is shown above. The park has several amenities for visitors. It was an enjoyable experience.

The above is a constructed panorama (with distortion) view of the reservoir. The size of the lake can handle both the swimmer and boat enthusiast easily.

Here is small pier extending a short distance into the lake. JoAnn is taking a view of the lake and shoreline from this vantage point.

The lake has many beaches and this is the main beach of the area. Folks are swimming and taking in the Sun.

JoAnn near the shoreline. The rocks keep erosion down as this lake (like most lakes in Texas) is a source of water for people. Our next stop will be to walk out along the pier (to the right in the photo)

We have walked out along a pier that extends further into the lake. This is one of the views back toward the shoreline.

We've walked out to the end of the longer pier. JoAnn is taking a look around. 

We have driven a bit around the lake to Quail Run Bay. This viewpoint gives a different perspective of the lake.

Another look at Quail Run Bay. This was our first time at the park and it was very enjoyable.  We really had a good time and we will return!
