East Texas’ best kept secret! Lake Murvaul can be found ten miles southwest from Carthage, in the Sabine River basin of Panola County. It is situated three miles south-east of Clayton and fourteen miles north of Timpson. You can bring your whole family to the Murvaul campground for a picnic or swim, boat, fish, and paddle on the lake. You can rent kayaks or peddleboats. Our marina is well-stocked and offers a variety of food and beverages. Lake Murvaul, which produces largemouth bass of over 8 pounds, is a great place to fish for them. Anglers have many options for crappie and channel catfish. You can harvest sunfish at specific times of the year. Panola County Fresh Water Supply Dist Number One owns and operates the lake, which has offices located at the lake.
