Proctor Lake is a reservoir in Central Texas, situated primarily in Comanche County with its northern reaches extending into Eastland County. Created by the damming of the Leon River, this body of water serves multiple purposes including flood control, irrigation support for local agriculture and providing recreational opportunities to residents and visitors alike.

Spanning approximately 4,610 acres when at full pool level with about 250 miles of shoreline, Proctor Lake offers ample space for boating activities as well as fishing-being home to species such as largemouth bass and catfish. The lake was impounded following the construction completion date on April 29th ,1963; it has since become an integral part of regional water management strategies while also serving as a popular outdoor destination featuring camping grounds along its scenic periphery.
