(Even If You Think You’re a Local)
As someone who lives and breathes Possum Kingdom Lake real estate, I hear it all the time—“I’ve been coming to PK for years!” But let me hit you with three lake facts that might just surprise even the most seasoned dock-sitters and wakeboard pros:
1. There’s a Scuba Park at PK… Yep, Seriously.
Hidden beneath those crystal-clear waters is Scuba Point, one of the only inland freshwater dive parks in Texas. Divers explore sunken boats, planes, and even a school bus just offshore. Whether you’re a certified diver or just love knowing there’s a “Texas Atlantis,” this is a wild twist most folks never hear about.Original Scuba Point
2. PK Was Built for Oil—Not Lake Life.
Most think Possum Kingdom was always meant to be a water-lover’s paradise, but it was actually created in the 1940s by the Brazos River Authority as a water source for the oil industry. The fact that it’s now home to cliff jumpers, VRBO goldmines, and Fourth of July firework shows is a glow-up for the history books.3. There’s a Ghost Town Hiding Just Under the Surface.
Before the lake was filled, a town called Pickwick was here. It had homes, a general store, and even a school. When the dam was completed, Pickwick was swallowed by the rising waters. Next time you’re cruising across the lake, just know—you might be floating right over the remnants of an underwater Wild West.Want to live where the stories are as deep as the water? Let’s find your perfect slice of PK. I know this lake like the back of my (sunburnt) hand.
