The camping area has been revived. The sailing club has returned. Visit and revisit www.lakesweetwater.com for lake news, weather, attractions, photos, and history.
Lake Sweetwater is owned and operated by the nearby city of Sweetwater, Texas. The lake capacity is 4.5 billion gallons. The widest distance across the lake is about 7,000 feet, and when it is full it covers about 760 acres. The dam is 350 feet wide at its base and seventy feet high at its highest point, with a twenty-foot closed roadway across its top.
