Houston Lake is located southwest of Warner Robins, Georgia, in central Houston County, Georgia on Mossy Creek. The area around Houston Lake has been populated since the mid-1800s. The first dam at the site was constructed to provide water power for milling operations. By the middle of the 20th century, the 150-acre lake had become a center of recreation with an earthen dam. Upper class private homes, a country club, and a golf club were constructed around the lake in later half of the century. These developments cut off public access to the lake until the late 1990s.
