Caddo Lake.
Many websites state that there is only one natural lake in Texas, that being Caddo Lake on the Texas-Louisiana border. However, this neglects some oxbow lakes and other smaller lakes in Texas. Green Lake is a natural tidal lake in Calhoun County on the Guadalupe River flood basin. There are some other small naturally occurring lakes in Texas, like Mitchell Lake in San Antonio, but most of the other lakes in Texas are reservoirs and not naturally occurring lakes.
Green Lake and Caddo Lake are naturally occurring lakes in Texas. Caddo Lake is on the Texas / Louisiana border northeast of Houston. It is no longer considered a natural lake since it was dammed somewhere around the turn of the 20th century. Green Lake is a natural tidal lake in Calhoun County, Texas, on the Guadalupe River flood basin. There are some other small naturally occurring lakes in Texas, like Mitchell Lake in San Antonio, but most of the other lakes in Texas are reservoirs and not naturally occurring lakes.
Caddo is one of the largest.
Actually, Sabine Lake is also a natural lake, and is over 90,000 acres in mass. Sabine Lake is much older than Caddo Lake by a couple of hundred years, and is seven miles wide by fourteen miles long. Caddo Lake is only 25,000 acres, and was created by an earthquake and the subsequent log jam that dammed the river, creating Caddo Lake around 1812.
