Fayette County Lake has managed to survive for over 17 years and over 800,000 fishermen latter by the sheer determination of the fishermen and the lake management team to preserve the lake and the opportunity to catch trophy-sized black bass. There is a very strictly enforced Slot Limi t on the lake to ensure the continued availability of the good healthy fish in the 3 - 6 lb size. There are two parks on the lake for access to the lake both by boat or just for camping or other recreational activities. Park Prairie and Oak Thicket parks are located on the North end of Lake Fayette and have just undergone extensive renovations with the assistance of a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and have outstanding amenities. Park Prairie Park offers spacious paved parking for all visitors.
Potable water is available as are restrooms accessible to the disabled public.
Boats can be launched from the boat ramp to enjoy a day of fishing or water skiing. Primitive camping is also available. New facilities include a large fishing pier, courtesy boat docks and a designated swim area protected from boat traffic. There is plenty of picnic areas to just rest and relax and a Pavilion that can be rented for family gatherings or group parties. Fees are lited below.
