Callender Lake is one of the best kept secrets of East Texas. It is approximately 20 minutes from Athens on the southwest, 45 minutes from Tyler on the East and it is almost centrally located between Shreveport, Louisiana on the East and the DFW Metroplex on the West. Activities include bird watching, boating, fishing, library filled with hundreds of books, and resale shop where all the proceeds go back to the community. Come see what the lake life is all about, and build your dream home here!
