Lake Tejas - Colmesneil, TX
Welcome

 

Lake Tejas is a family camping and recreation lake that includes numerous campsites and pavilions along with 1 regular volleyball court and 1 water volleyball court, pool tables, assorted piers and docks, paddle boats, 3 diving boards on 2 diving platforms (including the high dive), 2 children's slides, concession area serving fried food on the weekends, as well as ice cream, microwave food items, chips and sodas on all days, hiking trails and of course the 100 ft "WET WILLY" slide. It's a great place for birthday parties, scout campouts, school lake days, vacations, family reunions, or just a day of swimming and fishing.

 

Fishing is free, however, all fishing is catch and release to help preserve the natural balance of the lake. No swimming of any kind is allowed outside the roped swimming area. Personal canoes are welcome. Small boats with trolling motors may be used for a $3.00 a day launch fee. No gasoline powered motors allowed.

 

The swimming area at Lake Tejas may have anywhere from 1 to 6 trained Lifeguards on duty at any given time according to the volume of swimmers. These guards are trained in both CPR and First aide as well as professionally trained in water safety and rescue.

The swimming area has approximately 80 yards of sandy beach with plenty of room to run and play and a buoyed swimming area large enough to accommodate all levels of swimming ability. From the total novice to the advanced swimmer, there is plenty of fun for the entire family. Rent a tube or bring the float of your choice and you can float out away from the chaos on the beach to find your own private place to tan and socialize.
