Want to know the Lake Texoma water temperature today? Water temperature and lake level change daily, so the best answer always comes from a live official source. SearchTexoma doesn't post its own readings. Use the links below for current numbers.
Lake Texoma is a reservoir on the Red River along the Texas–Oklahoma border, created by Denison Dam, which was completed in 1944 and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District. The Red and Washita rivers feed the lake, and its shoreline touches Grayson and Cooke counties in Texas and Bryan, Marshall and Love counties in Oklahoma. Towns around the lake include Denison, Pottsboro and Gordonville on the Texas side and Durant, Kingston and Madill on the Oklahoma side.
Fishing: fish activity follows water temperature. Striped bass and other species change depth and feeding patterns as the water warms in spring and cools in fall, so anglers check temperatures to decide where and how to fish. See our Lake Texoma fishing guide.
Swimming and watersports: the lake warms through late spring and summer and cools through fall and winter. Early-season water can be much colder than the air, so wear a life jacket and be aware of cold-water shock.
USACE manages Lake Texoma for flood control, water supply and hydropower, so the lake level rises after heavy rain and falls during dry spells. The water control page shows the current elevation compared with the normal conservation pool. High water can close ramps and campsites. Low water can expose hazards near shore.
Once you've checked conditions, find a place to stay near the water or browse boat rentals.
