The De Cordova Bend Dam is a man-made dam on the Brazos River in Hood County, Texas, United States, controlled by the Brazos River Authority. De Cordova Bend Dam forms the 8,300-acre (34 km2) Lake Granbury. The dam is so named because of the clockwise almost-complete loop in the Brazos River named De Cordova Bend after Jacob De Cordova.
The dam is one of only three damming the Brazos River.
The dam is located at 32°22′26″N 97°41′15″W / 32.37393°N 97.68753°W (32.37393, -97.68753).[1]
The dam is southeast of Granbury, Texas and road access is available by Rainey Ct which crosses the dam.
