June 8 Best lake in Texas by packalphadog
Beautiful, huge, clear, deep lake. Super fishing (ESPN hosts televised pro-fishing tournaments here). You will need a Mexican fishing license to fish on the Mexican side of lake. This lake is also not a constant-level lake, so facilities serving boating are limited (3 permanent marinas), several boat docks. Marina services are pretty minimal. The Laughlin AFB Marina is the most developed, with RV sites available. Water tends to fluctuate quite a bit due to water releases for irrigation, so navigating the lake can be tricky at times. Camping along the lake is limited, however there are multiple day-use areas (with covered tables, grills) that are good for picnicing, swimming, etc. Plenty of boat storage.
