Our Story
The Hidden Lake was created when the city of Katy, TX was looking for dirt. Kinsel Industries, Inc. was contracted by The Texas Department of Transportation and contacted Gary Kerr at Faith West Academy and a deal was made.
TXDOT agreed to the dig, to line the lake and to place a pump filtration system in exchange for the dirt and the Pin Oak overpass on I10 was built.
