Play on Lake Madison – At 75 acres, Lake Madison may not be the largest lake in Texas.  However, it does offer more than its fair share of things to do in and around the water.  If you’ve got a boat, get out in the water and fish for bass or catfish; lie on the deck and soak up the sun’s rays.  The lake is located inside the larger Lake Madison Park, which has been updated throughout the years to make it one of the most fun places for kids and families in town.  There are baseball and softball fields, walking trail, playscapes, basketball court, a fishing pier, grills for picnicking, a covered pavilion and more.

The Splash Park is adjacent to the lake, providing a safe place for youngsters to get wet and wild, while you relax in the shade.  Located at 1215 E Collard Street, Madisonville, TX 77864  Phone:  936-348-9333
