The lagoon is the largest in Texas holding more than 25 million gallons of water and will be the first in the United States that will include a future public access facility. The lagoon will also include a boardwalk with restaurants, bars, entertainment, world class sailing facility, a hotel and amenities for the 4,500 home Lago Mar community.
