This is the cleanest lake and property that you can go to in north Texas. Fun snorkeling, fishing and kayaking place, no motor boats allowed. Pictures say it all!

Wheeler Branch Park is a nice sized park and lake. Entry is off of a small farm road (paved) and there is an entry fee for the park (I believe it was $7 per person?). We were there for my Daughters' SCUBA lessons which is a perfect use for this lake as there is no motorboat traffic (only kayaks and/or open hulled boats - small electric trolling type motors are allowed). The park is clean and well maintained. There are on-site restrooms with changing facilities and these too are kept clean. There are several covered picnic areas with built-in BBQ grills available which I think are first come first serve. The diving here is quite good, all things considered... with marked underwater features (platforms, an old bus, poker table, etc.). The water is easy to wade into even when loaded down with dive equipment on.

Every time we have gone, we have had a blast. It's always clean with plenty of parking and shelters to choose from. We have also reserved the gazebo several times no problem. For the 4th of July they offer great entertainment and fireworks. The water is always clean also. They have great fishing areas too. There's something for everyone to do.

Only canoes, kayaks or open hull john boats (without bilge, live wells or floors) allowed to launch or operate on Wheeler Branch Reservoir. All watercraft must have plugs pulled and be completely drained and dry of water prior to entering Wheeler Branch Park. No watercraft with a gas powered engine will be allowed on the Wheeler Branch Reservoir. Electric trolling motors are allowed.

What sort of bait would you recommend for bank fishing? Not from around here not sure what's best for the area. :)

Senkos and jigs work great

Where is the best place for a 12 year old to fish on the bank

Lucy Little | Aug 20, 2018
Juan Ramirez | Aug 21, 2018

I would say that the best place would be just north of the dock. The drop off to the water is not as steep and the water is more shallow.
