Lake History
Factoid: Pat Mayse Lake is located in the Red River Basin in Lamar County, Texas. The damsite is on
Sanders Creek (a tributary of the Red River) approximately one mile south of the town of
Chicota, four miles northwest of Powderly and twelve miles north of Paris, Texas.
Easy access to developed park areas has made the lake a mecca for families who enjoy
camping, picnicking, swimming, boating, fishing and other outdoor recreation.
Pat Mayse Lake provides excellent opportunities for fishing and hunting. Sport fish
species in the lake include largemouth bass, white crappie, sunfish, striped bass, channel
and flathead catfish, and other common fish species. These lands are managed for upland
game and whitetail deer and are open to the public as a public hunting area. The game
species present include deer, fox squirrel, gray squirrel, bobwhite quail, morning dove,
cottontail rabbit, raccoon, and fox.
Furbearers such as opossum, beaver, mink, skunk, and nutria are also present.
The lake also provides resting and feeding habitat for migratory waterfowl. A few miles
north of the project area are the famed Red River Bottoms where waterfowl congregate in
great numbers.
