The original 3 acre lake, a.k.a. King's Lake, was built in the 1940's to supply water for a sugar crane operation. In 2006 the owner rebuilt the dam and spillway, increasing the 3 acre lake to a deeper and larger 6 acre lake and then stocked it with largemouth bass and crappie. The impoundment is regulated by a seasonal creek and natural rainfall run-off. No worries about overflowing and erosion, a concrete spillway easily controls the excess water. There are 3 additional small ponds spread throughout the property giving wildlife multiple areas to hydrate. Along with 2 seasonal creeks, water is never too far away. Not to mention the 37,600 acre Lake Tawakoni is 10 minutes from the ranch. Or go 15 minutes further and fish the infamous Lake Fork.

Wildlife is what Double T Ranch is all about, especially gigantic whitetail deer. Double T Ranch is currently a managed whitetail game ranch.
