Fishing & Wildlife
Texas Parks and Wildlife has maintained a customized stocking program for Lake Jacksonville for 30 years. It has a long history as a favored go-to among area anglers with it’s offerings of large mouth bass (one record bass weighing in at 15-pounds-plus), spotted bass, “slab” crappie, sun perch, and catfish.
Wildlife around the lake is abundant with deer and red fox, and bald eagles visit seasonally in the winter. Bird-watching is a favorite activity for many visitors.
Lifestyle
Lake Jacksonville has something for everyone, whether you are looking to camp along the shore, swim, fish the 1,325-acres of water, or purchase a new home.
Lake Jacksonville Association members enjoy private events with other members, as well as host an annual Independence Day Fireworks show open to the public. There are a number of places to view the show from the public campground and swimming areas and hundreds of boaters line up each year to get their front-row seat on the water.
