Lake Bonham is a 1,020-acre recreation destination in the Prairies and Lakes Region of northern Texas, just south of the Texas-Oklahoma border in Fannin County. The lake was created in 1969 by the City of Bonham. There is a double wide launch ramp for boats, enclosed heated/cooled event center, an open pavilion for parties, a public beach for swimming & a dock for fishing, a playground for the kids and many lovely camping spots very reasonably priced. There are biking/hiking trails for the hardy and plenty of shade for sitting and cooling off.
