What to Know About Richland-Chambers Reservoir
Spanning over 41,000 surface acres just an hour south of Dallas-Fort Worth, Richland-Chambers is an open-water powerhouse. As the third-largest reservoir located entirely within Texas, its two massive arms (Richland Creek and Chambers Creek) provide virtually endless room for sailing, wakeboarding, and cruising. High-end gated communities with private boat houses line the shores. Watch the wind: open stretches can develop steep chop when afternoon breezes exceed 15 mph.
