Fayette County Reservoir is a power station cooling reservoir on Cedar Creek in the Colorado River basin, 10 miles (16 km) east of LaGrange, Texas. The reservoir was created in 1978 when a dam was built on the creek to provide a cooling pond for the Fayette Power Project which provides electrical generation to Fayette County and surrounding areas. The dam, lake, and power plant are managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority. The lake is also used for recreational purposes, especially fishing.
Fayette County Reservoir is also known as Lake Fayette.
