About Temples Lake
Overview Temples Lake Park is a day-use facility with over 60 picnic sites and one reservable group area on the southern shore of Belton Lake. The lake provides some of the best fishing and boating in Central Texas and the park offers amenities for large groups of up to 80 people, such as flush toilets, showers, a playground, a swim beach and two two-lane boat ramps. Belton Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Belton Dam in 1954. The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River. Recreation With 136 miles of shoreline, Belton Lake offers a wide variety of recreation activities, including camping, water recreation, picnicking, and nature trails. Temple's Lake Park is a destination for families, boaters, and anglers alike. Temple's Lake Park offers two multi-lane boat ramps (1 seasonal). Popular fish species include hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass, white bass, catfish and sunfish. Visitors can also make use of the many picnic table sites and cook up lunch on the available grills while their friends and family enjoy the park's swimming beach, volleyball and basketball courts, and playground. Reserve the Pavillon for a private event! White-tailed deer, hawks, great blue herons, ducks, geese, many species of songbirds and even an occasional bald eagle visit the lake area, yielding year-round opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts and kids alike!
