Averhoff Reservoir is a 173-acre narrow, riverine-type reservoir located on the Nueces River north of the town of Crystal City in Zavala County, Texas, United States, and from San Antonio, Texas. It was constructed by the Zavala-Dimmit Water Improvement District Number 1 in 1948 to provide water for agriculture, recreation, and flood control. The reservoir was formed by the construction of two dams across two channels of the Nueces River. The dam and lake are managed by the Zavala-Dimmit County Water Impound District. Averhoff Reservoir also serves as a venue for recreation, including fishing and boating.
