== Fun facts ==
* The city takes its name from a dry lake, a unique dryland plains geographic feature situated atop the divide between the Rio Grande and Colorado River watersheds, located less than two miles south of the city, through which State Highway 137 passes. The dry lake, with no outlet, is over two sections in size, making it the largest in Texas; it holds water temporarily and only after high runoff rain events, being used for grazing the remainder of the time. Though seasonal and temporal, the 'big playa lake', in wet periods, is significant in a semi-arid, drought-frequented environment and has been utilized regularly as a food and water resource by man and animal, alike, since prehistoric times.
* The city's current existence is based on agriculture (some farming, but mostly ranching) and oil and gas service and production throughout the area.
* Big Lake has little in the way of amenities to offer. It has Reagan County Airport, dollar stores, a few hotels/motels, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, a few RV parks, electric showers, Lowe's Market, a sports complex, a little bit of public battle fields, a few auto parts places and car dealerships, a Pilot truck stop with a Dairy Queen, and that's about it.
