Stillhouse Hollow Lake -- Officials with the Fort Worth District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Stillhouse Hollow Lake are saddened to announce the full closure and removal of the Stillhouse Hollow Marina. After more than 50 years of operation, a series of unfortunate events have led to the docks and facilities being damaged beyond repair.
Earlier this summer, the strong winds that accompanied the Temple tornado caused severe damage to the marina. In addition to the wind damage, a boat caught fire and drifted into the main dock area, adding even more destruction. These two devastating incidents combined have caused irreparable damage and have led to the decision by the marina owners to close and remove all facilities.
The Stillhouse Hollow Lake Office would like to thank the Clapper family for their 30 years of providing a marina to our local community. To support future marina capabilities, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has full intentions of putting the marina lease out for bid once all the damaged facilities have been removed. For more information on the leasing process, please contact Park Ranger Alex Klepac at the Stillhouse Hollow Lake Office, 254-939-2461.
