WHERE YOU'LL BE
Lake Texoma, Pottsboro Texas, United States
Lake Texoma is one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. It is located on the Texas-Oklahoma border about 60 miles north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Lake Texoma offers recreational opportunities including wildlife refuges, marinas, and outdoor adventures. It is a phenomenal lake for fishing, hiking, biking, and recreational boating. Power boating, sailing, personal watercraft, water skiing, and wind surfing are all popular. The lake has become a major sailing center based on its size, depth, and miles of sailing shoreline.
Lake Texoma is known as the “Striper Capital of the World”, one of the few reservoirs in the nation where striped bass reproduce naturally. There are plenty of other fish to catch including largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, white crappie, black crappie, channel catfish and blue catfish.
NEIGHBORHOOD
Our cabin is located in Cambridge Shores, the treasure south of Treasure Island and is located on the Texas side of Lake Texoma near the town of Pottsboro, Tanglewood Resort and Highport Marina. It is a friendly and quiet neighborhood, nestled in the woods. The property backs up to the Corp of Engineers wooded property surrounding Lake Texoma and is a short 5-minute walk to the lake.
Cambridge Shores has a community boat ramp (available to use for a fee, $10 cash per day) with picnic tables and ample parking (boats cannot be left at the dock or in the parking lot overnight, but there is ample parking for trailers at the cabin), Highport Marina is just a few minutes away where you can rent a pontoon boat to really explore all Lake Texoma has to offer.
GETTING THERE
If you aren’t bringing your groceries with you, we suggest you purchase them on your way to the house. The closest store is Brookshire’s, 11205 N. State Hwy 298 in Pottsboro, about an 8 minute drive. You may also want to stop at Fink Liquor at 75005 N. State Hwy 298. You will also want to grab firewood and starters to use the fire pit. We do provide roasting sticks and marshmallows.
As you drive to the neighborhood, you will notice the road get hillier. It’s definitely a wonderful experience driving through the country when headed to the lake! Look for the blue Cambridge Shores neighborhood sign to turn in. The road in the neighborhood to the house is paved but is bumpy. There is a significant elevation change from the neighborhood entrance to our cabin. If there is winter weather, 4-wheel drive vehicles often still have issues getting out of the neighborhood. As a reminder, winter weather is not covered under the cancellation refund policy. Therefore, we recommend travel insurance. There is ample parking in the driveway and the front of the house with space for 5 cars and a boat or 6 vehicles. See pictures for configuration.
