Lake Ray Hubbard

Lake Ray Hubbard, formerly Eastern Dallas Lake or Forney Lake, is a freshwater impoundment located in Dallas, Texas in the counties of Dallas, Kaufman, Collin, and Rockwall, just north of the City of Forney. It was created by the construction of the Rockwall-Forney Dam, which impounded the East Fork Trinity River.

It measures 22,745 acres in size with a storage capacity of 490,000 acre-ft and a maximum depth of 40 ft. The dam is currently owned by the City of Dallas. I-30 crosses the lake on the Eastern Dallas Causeway. The lake was originally named Forney Lake for the small city of Forney. After the City of Dallas incorporated the lake, it was renamed after a living person, Ray Hubbard, who presided over the Dallas Parks and Recreation System board from 1943 to 1972. The reservoir is currently managed and owned by Dallas Water Utilities.
