Lake Texoma Community Forum

GO TEXAN promotes the products, culture and communities that call Texas home.  The GO TEXAN Rural Community Program is a comprehensive initiative from the Texas  Department of Agriculture designed to promote the growth and prosperity of every rural Texas town, city and county.

This program creates a single rallying call for rural Texas, educating the public about all rural Texas has to offer and encouraging rural communities to share and promote successful ideas.



Lake Texoma - a Premier Vacation Destination

This program is well suited to the Lake Texoma area which offers many tourism opportunities for Nature and the great outdoors.  The program is divided into four main nature tourism categories:  Adventure, Agritourism, Fishing & Hunting.

Specifically for the Lake Texoma area, the lake itself is of course huge as a premier fishing destination, but the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, Crosstimbers and Eisenhower Park hiking trails, biking trails, and wineries are also an intregal part of tourism attractions in the Lake Texoma area.

Texas is the fifth-largest wine-producing state in the nation, and its wineries have a special allure. Each is unique in its setting and personality. Wineries throughout the north Texas area surrounding Lake Texoma offer public tours of their facilities and tastings for individuals and groups. It's an enjoyable day trip, weekend getaway or vacation destination. In ever-increasing numbers, consumers are visiting north Texas wineries, attending community wine festivals such as the Denison Wine Renassiance, the Ivanhoe Wine Festival and the Whiteright Rose and Wine Festival,  enjoying the delicious difference of a fine, Texas vintage.

Darrell Dean, Regional Director, Go-Texan, Department of Agriculture, State of Texas, will present information to the Pottsboro area community about the Go-Texan project for community economic development ending with a question and answer session on February 26, 2013 at Tanglewood Resort, Pottsboro, TX.  The meeting, sponsored by  Pottsboro Area Development, will begin at 6 pm and last until 7:30 pm.  For more information or questions call 903-786-6371.
