Denison Dam


Power Plant Road | Denison Texas, 75020

Denison Dam, an engineering marvel on the Red River, forms the iconic Lake Texoma—one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. With over 15,000 feet in length and standing 165 feet tall, the dam provides hydroelectric power, flood control, and recreational opportunities for the entire region.

Visitors can walk across the dam for sweeping views of the lake and spillway, explore the scenic riverbanks, or enjoy a day of fishing in the tailrace, known for its excellent striped bass and catfish. The area is also popular for boating, wildlife watching, and picnicking, making it a must-see destination for outdoor lovers visiting Denison and Lake Texoma.
