Nestled in the quiet woods of East Texas only 60 minutes from the Dallas Metroplex, the City of Log Cabin boasts a resident population of 714 (2010 census) with numerous "weekenders" who don't live here year round. A quiet community, offering a chance to get away from the big city and enjoy the lake life. Raise your kids here, spend the week or the weekend in your RV or tent at the RV Park, or just come have fun on the weekends, but don't miss a chance to visit!

Lake Days To Be Remembered for Decades!
