Lake Conroe is a 21,000-acre man-made lake in Montgomery County in East Texas. It was constructed in 1972 as an alternate water source for the city of Houston and sits on the west fork of the San Jacinto River.

It is a popular destination for jet-skiing boating; the most frequently used public access point is Lake Conroe Park, which has boat slips, fishing piers, two swimming areas, a children’s playground, picnic tables, grills, horseshoe pits, and volleyball courts. The lake runs through east Texas into the evergreen forests of Sam Houston National Forest. The fishing in Lake Conroe is excellent, with good-sized largemouth, white, and striped bass, bluegill, and channel catfish.
