I was told that Summer 2019 is the first time in years (5) that the water has even been high enough for water activities and to wear water shoes if I get into the water. I was also straight up told not to go into the water because it’s filthy and would kill me. I obviously went into the water, with water shoes, over a week ago and I’m still alive. I do recommend the water shoes because woah- the bottom of the lake does have some garbage on it. Lake sweetwater is probably better for boating and fishing. They have a little play ground area which only looked like it had a 50/50 chance of sending the kids to the ER. Also, we did see snakes- plural.. so you know just tell the kids to stay away from the brush.

Beautiful lake. Wonder to see the lake full of water. Last visit it was down about 13 feet.
About Lake Sweetwater
Nestled in the rolling plains of Texas, Lake Sweetwater offers a unique, though sometimes challenging, natural retreat. Originally constructed in the early 20th century, this reservoir has seen many transformations as water levels have fluctuated dramatically over the years. Currently, visitors can enjoy boating and fishing when the water levels cooperate. As noted in recent visitor experiences, water activities can be limited, and the lake bed may host debris, necessitating the use of water shoes for safety. Its rustic surroundings are accented by scattered picnic tables, grills, and a children's play area—though visitors suggest an update would enhance family enjoyment. Nature enthusiasts should stay vigilant for the local wildlife, including snakes. Lake Sweetwater, while unpredictable, especially in terms of water volume and quality, delivers a raw beauty and a wide-open sky that reminds us just how untamed and engaging the Texas plains can be.
