Kirby Lake is a man-made reservoir located on the south side of Abilene, Texas, just east of Highway 83, in the northeastern portion of Taylor County. Kirby Lake is within the Brazos River Basin, meaning that Cedar Creek, which feeds Kirby Lake, eventually feeds into the Brazos River. Kirby Lake resides in the Red Prairies portion of the Central Great Plains ecoregion.

Kirby Lake is a popular lake for fishing, in particular blue or other catfishes, as well as bluegill. Like most lakes in the region, largemouth bass, carp, white crappie, and other fish also live in the waters. Lake specific regulations based on minimum lengths and daily bag limits must be followed for catfish, but other fish like white crappie, saugeye, largemouth bass, and sunfishes are allowed to be caught if state regulations are being followed.
