Lake Pat Cleburne

Lake Pat Cleburne is the municipal water reservoir for the city of Cleburne, Texas, as well as a recreational lake for residents. It is formed by damming the Nolan River which continues below the lake's dam. The water is murky due to sediment. U.S. Highway 67 crosses over the extreme north end of the lake lending a panoramic view of the complete lake.

gollark: I *did* test this, you know.

gollark: FS overrides can create some really "fun" filesystem messes.
