Cool Spot on the south side of  Richland Chambers Lake

Time for little business!  This is a really cool restaurant / bar on the south side of Richland Chambers on FM 416.  This used to be the 'Draft House Grill and Bar".  The business at one time was moving along pretty well and it was a great hang out on Friday & Saturday nights.  Live music, good food and great atmosphere made for a fun evening on RC Lake.  The facilities are in great shape with all of the kitchen,  bar equipment and some sound equipment is in place.  The owners have moved on to other things and are wanting to sell.  This place is perfect for someone who wants to open a "Pub Style" operation, Sports bar, or just a good restaurant.
Check out the listing:  470 FM 416 Streetman, TX 75859

Lake Access on a Budget

For good water access on a budget a lot in The Shores with a boat slip in The Shores marina is a good way to go. The slips in The Shores marina were offered by the developer to buyers purchasing lots in The Shores.  The slips were sold out to lot owners with the purchaser receiving a lifetime lease on the slip.  There are now 9 lots for sale in The Shores that come with a lifetime lease on a slip.  The diagram has the slips available with the lot numbers beside them.  Right now they range from $25,000 to  $50,000.

Richland Chambers Lake Spillway

This is a cool picture I took back in 2009 of the damn on Richland Chambers after some big rains in September and October, of all months.  The lake went from almost 5 feet low on September the 13th to more than a foot over by October 15th, rising more than a foot a week. 

Richland Chambers Lake Watershed

Most years,  Richland Chambers Lake fills in the late winter and spring so 2009 was not the norm, but it does demonstrate how fast the lake can fill.  The watershed for Richland Chambers covers 1957 square miles. It stretches into 6 counties eventuating in the confluence of Richland Creek and Chambers Creek (now in the middle of the lake).  Bardwell Reservoir is the headwaters of Chambers Creek and Navarro Mills Reservoir is the headwaters of Richland Creek.  Both are Army Corps of Engineers lakes and have 26 and 28 foot flood stages respectively.  One of the main functions of  Bardwell and Navarro Mills  is flood control. Water can be impounded and released into Richland Chambers all we need is a couple of good rains in the right spots!

Boathouse Construction

Yeah! Our boathouse is under construction!  Here are some shots from a couple of days ago.  Richland Chambers Area Construction is driving 27' steel pipe into the lake bed for the 'foundation' of the boat house. The retainer wall is mostly done and the boathouse itself will soon have a floor.  We have pretty good water depth right off the shoreline.  The lake is down about 4.25' today and we have right at 4 ' of water where they are working.  Tarrant Regional Water District is the governing authority for Richland Chambers Lake and all shoreline construction must be built to their specifications.  The regulations for shoreline improvements can be found on their website at:  TRWD.com/RichlandChambers .  You can also get to Tarrant Regional's site from our website at BuyRCLake.com/richland-chambers-lake-level.aspx
