Lake Quitman Marina
LAKE QUITMAN. Lake Quitman and Wood County Dam No. 1 (at 35°52' N, 95°26' W) are in the Sabine River basin on Dry Creek, a tributary of the Lake Fork of the Sabine River, four miles north of Quitman in northwestern Wood County. The project is owned and operated by Wood County for flood regulation and recreational purposes. Construction of the earthfill dam, which was designed by the engineering firm of Wisenbaker, Fix, and Associates, began on June 1, 1961, and was completed on June 1, 1962. Impoundment of water began May 15, 1962. The lake has a capacity of 7,440 acre-feet and a surface area of 814 acres at the service spillway crest elevation of 395 feet above mean sea level. The drainage area of Dry Creek above the dam is thirty-one square miles.

LAKE QUITMAN MARINA The picture shown above is the original Marina here at Lake Quitman. The Marina has had several names including Marina at Lake Quitman and Caddo Cove. The new owners Bud and Lynel hope to bring some of the history back to the Marina with the new name being Lake Quitman Marina. The information is limited when researching the Marina itself so any information about the history of the Lake is welcomed as we build onto our story.
