Lemmon Lake is one of the most ecologically significant bodies of water in the Great Trinity Forest, the largest urban hardwood forest in the U.S. This shallow reservoir is a magnet for wildlife, especially birds such as herons, egrets, ibis, and migratory ducks.
Though not suited for traditional recreation, the lake is a top location for birdwatching, nature photography, and ecological research. Access is limited to protect the habitat, but guided walks and field studies occasionally take place. Lemmon Lake is a natural treasure in Dallas’s conservation landscape.
