Review & FAQ:

Named after Lyndon B. Johnson, Lake LBJ is a reservoir on the Colorado River. During the construction of Granite Shoals Dam, this lake was formed in 1950. Those who like to fish recreationally will find catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, and white bass in this lake. Much of the property that borders the lake is privately owned. Next to it is the Nightengale Archaeological Center at Kingsland. It’s an educational park that the Lower Colorado River Authority operates. Lake LBJ is largely known for its ideal conditions for water sports, especially boating, water skiing, paddle boarding, and more.
