Cedar Creek Reservoir

Cedar Creek Reservoir explained

Its coordinates are 32.3637, -96.1747. The deepest point on record is about 62 feet. Releases go downstream into the outflow =.

Cedar Creek Reservoir has no catalogued swimming beach in the sources we read, so plan around the managing agency's own facilities. Screech Owl Reach, on Lake Tawakoni, is the closest named beach in this guide, about 37 miles off. A missing beach entry often just means nobody has catalogued the access point yet.

Swimming season in Texas runs through the warm months, and day-use areas set their own opening dates. No public sensor reports water temperature at Cedar Creek Reservoir, so the panel shows air temperature and wind. Inland lakes are not monitored the way ocean beaches are, so posted signs matter more here.

Readings come from station 08063010 (Cedar Ck Res nr Trinidad, TX). The last value stored here, 316.68 ft, is from 2026-09-09. That put the reservoir at 75% of its conservation capacity. Conservation capacity is 644,686 acre-feet. The agency sets full pool at 322.0 ft. Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 316.71 ft and 321.43 ft (low on 2026-09-08, high on 2025-08-05). Check the reading the morning you go if your plan depends on a specific ramp.
