Alvarado Park Lake is a reservoir in Johnson County, Texas southwest of Alvarado, Texas. The county-owned reservoir was built in 1966 by Jack P. McKinney for floodwater retention, municipal water storage, and recreation. It is controlled by the City of Alvarado. The lake is formed by damming the Turkey Creek, a tributary of Chambers Creek and the Trinity River. It drains 80 km2 and is impounded by a 1,100 m dam 15 m high with a spillway level of 214.6 m. The water is stained to murky due to sediment.
