About East Tawakoni

East Tawakoni sits along the eastern shore of Lake Tawakoni in Rains County, right across the water from its sister city, West Tawakoni. Home to roughly 800 residents, the community offers a relaxed, rural lakeside setting with plenty of space. State Highway 276 runs straight through town, making it an easy nine-mile drive east into Emory for groceries, shopping, and everyday errands.

Daily life here naturally centers on the water, with excellent fishing, boating, and a steady stream of weekend visitors during the warmer months. Local students attend Rains ISD schools in nearby Emory. East Tawakoni maintains its own independent city services and a quiet, laid-back atmosphere that draws in retirees, weekenders, and anyone looking for an affordable lake lifestyle.
