Lake Cisco is a lake located north of Cisco in Eastland County, Texas. [2] Texas State Highway 6 passes the lake on the eastern shore. [4]
It is owned by the city of Cisco for municipal water purposes. [3]
Fish species found in Lake Cisco include largemouth bass, channel catfish, white crappie, and redear sunfish. [2]
History
Cisco obtained a permit in June 1920 to build a dam. [3] The dam was completed September 1923, and then the lake was impounded in 1923. [2] [3] The lake was reduced in size due to damage to the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad, in which the city was injuncted over. Later, Cisco obtained a new permit in January 1955 to dam Battle Creek to compensate for Lake Cisco's reduced size. [3]
