The White Rock Lake Foundation

WHERE DALLAS COMES TO BREATHE

For over 100 years, White Rock Lake has been a place of water, wildlife, and connection — evolving alongside the city that surrounds it.

BUILT FOR A CITY.

Constructed in 1910–1911, White Rock Lake began as a water source for Dallas — but quickly became something more.

BECAME A DESTINATION.

Over time, the lake evolved into a space for people — walking, gathering, and enjoying nature just minutes from the city.

STILL A SANCTUARY.

Today, White Rock Lake remains one of Dallas’ most treasured places — shaped by the community and protected for future generations.
