History
For more than 90 years, the Tarrant Regional Water District has provided quality water to its customers, implemented vital flood control measures and created recreational opportunities for Tarrant County residents and communities. Today, TRWD is led by a publicly elected five-member board and owns/operates four major reservoirs, including Lake Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain Lake, Cedar Creek Lake and Richland-Chambers Lake. TRWD has also constructed more than 150 miles of water pipelines, 27 miles of floodway levees, more than 72 miles of Trinity River Trails and a 2,000 acre wetland water reuse project designed to increase future water supplies for the area.
Specialties
Eagle Mountain Park is a 400-acre park located in northwest Tarrant County on Eagle Mountain Lake. The majority of the property has been left untouched, which allows those who visit access to the area in its natural form. Informational signs at the park's entrance provide explanations of local plants, trees, animals and landscapes, as well as insight into the history of the park and its trail system. The park is home to multiple hiking trails, two large pavilions and a handicap-accessible overlook.
