Gibbons Creek Reservoir

Gibbons Creek Reservoir (sometimes referred to as Gibbons Creek Lake) on Gibbons Creek in the Navasota River basin, 20 miles (32 km) east of College Station, Texas, United States. Initially impounded in 1981, the reservoir was built as a power plant cooling reservoir for the Gibbons Creek Steam Electric Station, generating electricity for the municipally-owned electric utilities of the cities of Bryan, Denton, Garland, and Greenville until 2018. Gibbons Creek Reservoir is a popular recreational destination due to its location near the Bryan–College Station metropolitan area. In June 2026, SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. received planning approval to build the Terafab facility on land adjacent to Gibbons Creek Reservoir and plans to continue to use the reservoir for cooling as originally designed for the coal-fired power plant.
