Bois d’Arc Lake is now open for recreational use after spring rains brought the lake level up to near full. The lake is owned by the North Texas Municipal Water District, Richardson’s water supplier. It has been providing water to the NTMWD since March 2023 but was not opened for recreation until earlier this week.  

Visitors to Bois d’Arc Lake can enjoy boating, fishing, hunting, picnicking and other activities around the lake. There are three public access areas with boat launch ramps, day-use picnic areas and restrooms. The lake is located outside of Bonham in Fannin County, about 75 miles northeast of Richardson.
