About Lake Ray Roberts

Lake Ray Roberts covers about 25,600 acres in Cooke County, Denton County, Grayson County, Texas and is classed as a reservoir. The surface sits about 633 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 106 ft down.

Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 08051100 (Ray Roberts Lk nr Pilot Point, TX). Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

With this much open water, waves build quickly when the wind lines up with the long axis of the lake. Pick a launch on the upwind shore on breezy days and the ride home is easier. Reservoir levels move with releases and inflow, so ramps and beaches can change week to week. The water level page tracks that day by day.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
