Some 90 miles west of Fort Worth, Possum Kingdom Lake sparkles along the upper reaches of the Brazos River.
“Possum Kingdom Lake! The most beautiful lake in Texas! My family has made wonderful memories over the years!” —Jan Verdi, Graford
The 17,000-acre lake entices anglers, boaters, swimmers, skiers, and scuba divers—and the hilly surrounds draw campers, picnickers, and wildlife- watchers, along with hikers and bikers, who can trek 16 miles of scenic trails. Pick the popular Peninsula area, with stores, restaurants, rental cabins, and a go-kart track, or plan a stay at the namesake state park.
