JB Thomas Lake is a remote reservoir in West Texas, near Snyder, on the border of Borden and Scurry counties. This 7,820-acre lake sits in the semi-arid Permian Basin plains landscape, at about 2,250 feet elevation. West Texas is one of the windiest regions in the state, offering powerful and consistent wind conditions. This remote spot is for self-sufficient riders seeking kite sessions in a wild, wind-swept environment.
Large freshwater body in the West Texas plains with excellent fetch in all directions. Strong, constant wind can generate significant chop. Murky and shallow water in many areas. The lake has suffered from severe droughts in recent years, with very low levels. Check lake levels before planning a session.
