Perhaps I am way too late for this conversation but what are you looking for in "a lake"? Are you a water sports kinda guy or just want a view and to feed the ducks? The reason I ask is that there MIGHT be closer options available if you are not looking for great fishing and high powered boats or sailing. If boating is your goal, you are probably stuck with Lake Conroe (not a bad place to be stuck....just a ways from the airport)
