History

Construction on North Lake Dam began in 1956 and the dam was complete in August 1957. The reservoir was designed as a cooling reservoir for a Dallas Power and Light Company electric power plant.

In 1978, the lake began to be used for fishing as well. Fish didn't survive well due to low nutrient levels, so in 1978 the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department began fertilizing the water and stocking it with bass.

The land north of the lake is being targeted for redevelopment due to its proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, but Coppell strongly opposes the plans.
