This page was created to give a brief synopsis of Lake Conroe, as well as giving the user access to all Lake Conroe waterfront homes and home-sites currently available for sale or lease. The Lake Conroe dam was constructed in 1973 to create an alternative water source for the city
of Houston; it was a joint effort between the City of Houston, Texas Water Development, and the San Jacinto River Authority. Lake Conroe's location is roughly 40 miles North of Houston, with the South Shore and dam located off of Hwy 105 about 10 miles West of the City of Conroe.
Lake Conroe has over 21,000 acres of surface water, being about 19 miles long from top to bottom, and about 5 to 6 miles wide at its widest point. The average depth of the lake is around 20 to 25 feet deep, with the deepest points being in the river channel which runs through the middle of the lake at 80 feet. Lake Conroe has over a 150 miles of picturesque shoreline, almost half of which borders the Sam Houston National Forest which will remain undeveloped, making boating, fishing, water skiing and sight seeing a pleasurable experience.
 There is also plenty of wildlife surrounding the lake; these include several species of birds as well as raccoons, armadillo, and an abundance of deer. The lake has recently been recognized as one of the best lakes in Texas for cat-fishing, though there are also plenty of other species of fish, such as large mouth bass, striped bass, white bass, crappie, blue, channel and flathead catfish. Lake Conroe is also becoming one of the premier large mouth bass fishing lakes in Texas. In addition to holding many local fishing tournaments it is in partnership with the Professional Anglers Association which just hosted the nationally televised Toyota Texas Bass Classic fishing tournament in October of 2009. There was also a new lake record large mouth bass caught in February of 2009, the fish weighed in just shy of 16 lbs! Lake Conroe is expected to keep producing more and more lunker bass; since the year 2000 almost 2 million Florida stain large mouth bass have been stocked into Lake Conroe waters by the TPWD.
If you like to fish, water ski, sight see, sail, play golf, or just go for a boat ride, Lake Conroe is the place to be, and is accordingly named "Houston's playground". With the addition of the new Waterpoint shopping center there are now numerous restaurants and retail establishments that are waterfront accessible by boat. Imagine walking out into your backyard, hopping in your boat and taking a ride over to get a bite to eat; or perhaps just for a quick cup of Starbucks, or an ice cream treat!
