The Pauls Valley City Lake offers a wide range of recreational opportunities including fishing, camping, swimming, jet skiing, hunting, and a pavilion for reunions or get togethers. Constructed in 1954 primarily as a water supply lake, the City Lake offers 750 acres of prime fishing water. Stocked with various species of catfish, crappie, black bass, and saugeye makes this lake worth trying. Camping facilities range from full hook ups to primitive camping. For the jet skiers, one can also enjoy the beach area and boat ramp that is located in the jet ski area.
