Quick answer: 912 Lohaina Court in Tool, TX was a 5-bed, 3-bath, 2,376 sq ft lakefront home on Cedar Creek Lake that we featured in early 2025. It sat on nearly 1.4 acres across multiple lots with a two-story boat dock and a large shop. One correction to our old post: Cedar Creek Lake is southeast of Dallas, not a Dallas lake, and it's outside our Texoma service area.
Heads up: This home was featured in early 2025 and may no longer be available. See current lake and waterfront listings →

Where is Cedar Creek Lake, and is it near Dallas?
Our original post lumped this home in with Dallas lake homes, and that wasn't quite right. Cedar Creek Lake is in East Texas, southeast of Dallas, around Henderson and Kaufman counties. It's a popular weekend lake for Dallas-area folks, but it's a drive, not a neighborhood lake.
We're a Texoma team, so our home turf is Lake Texoma and the lakes along the Texas–Oklahoma border. We featured this listing in early 2025, and we're keeping the story here with the correct geography so it's useful to anyone comparing lake options.
How does Cedar Creek Lake compare with Lake Texoma?
Both are big, popular lakes with a strong weekend culture. Here are a few general differences worth knowing when you compare them with Lake Texoma homes for sale:
| Consideration | Cedar Creek Lake | Lake Texoma |
|---|---|---|
| Location | East Texas, southeast of Dallas | Texas–Oklahoma border, north of Dallas |
| Shoreline | Much of the shoreline is privately developed, so many homes sit right on the water | Surrounded largely by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, so many homes are near the water rather than on it |
| Docks | Varies by property and lake authority rules | Private docks are regulated by the Corps; check current permit rules |
| States | Texas only | Two states: compare Texas and Oklahoma taxes and rules |
If you're looking at Lake Texoma, read our posts on Army Corps property lines and dock permitting at Lake Texoma before you fall in love with a shoreline. You can also browse all lake and waterfront homes we track, including Lake Kiowa and Lake Murray.
What should you ask before buying a lakefront home anywhere?
- Who controls the shoreline? Private ownership, a lake authority, or the Army Corps each come with different rules.
- Is the dock permitted and transferable? Get documentation, not just a verbal yes.
- How do water levels change? Seasonal swings can affect dock use and boat access.
- Flood zone and insurance: get quotes before you make an offer.
- Septic or sewer: many lake homes are on septic, so plan for an inspection.
