Lake Bridgeport is a manmade reservoir created in 1932 by the damming of the western fork of the Trinity River. It provides flood control and irrigation, and it is a recreational lake. Game fishing is a popular sport here, with anglers reeling in largemouth and sand bass as well as crappie and sunfish.

Wise County Park on the northern shores of the park offers campsites with full hookups, picnic facilities, a children’s playground, pavilions for rent, and public showers and restrooms. The lake’s clear, clean water is ideal for swimming, recreational boating, and jet-skiing. There are marinas and boat ramps along the 170 miles of shoreline, as well as boat rental agencies.
