At 45 miles long and up to 4 miles wide,
with 37 square miles of coverage and 225 miles of shoreline, Texas’
Lake Whitney is quite a big lake. It is located approximately 30 miles
north of Waco and 65 miles southwest of Fort Worth, and is known as
"The Getaway Capital of Texas." Lake Whitney's clear, blue
water and its diverse shoreline of woods, sandy beaches and steep, stony
bluffs make it one of the most popular recreational Texas lakes. Lake
Whitney provides opportunities for boating, sailing, waterskiing, jet
skiing, scuba diving, fishing, and swimming.
Scuba divers love Lake Whitney. Diving is fantastic in areas like Lofer's
Bend Park, Soldiers Bluff Park, Cliffs on Little Rocky Creek and King
Creek around the stony little island called King Creek Rock.
Texas Parks and Wildlife call the fishing at Lake Whitney “excellent”.
Crappie, catfish, sunfish and many species of bass are abundant in Whitney.
