Lake Leon (Texas)

Lake Leon is located in Eastland County and was created by the State Board of Water Engineers by impounding the Leon River.^[1] In reference to Abilene, Texas with a population of around 125,000, it is 68 miles (109 kilometers) east, and in reference to Eastland, Texas with a population of around 4,000, it is 10 miles (16 kilometers) southeast.^[1]^[2]^[3] Lake Leon is found in the Brazos River and in the Cross Timbers ecoregion, more specifically the Cross Timbers Grand Prairie ecoregion.^[4]^[5]

Hydrology

The river which filled Lake Leon is called the Leon River which also serves as its namesake, but the drainage area is over 250 square miles (650 square kilometers).^[1]^[4] The surface area is 736 acres (298 hectares), a maximum depth of 55 feet (17 meters), an elevation above sea level of 1,382 feet (421 meters), and a capacity of 28,042 acre-feet.^[1]^[4] Aside from decreasing water levels due to hot, dry summer months, the water level is not susceptible to fluctuation.^[1] According to the Eastland County Water Supply District, the turbidity varies from visibility to 4 feet (1.2 meters) to slightly stained.^[1]
