Red Lake

The area of Red Lake is located on U.S. Highway 84 about twelve miles east of 
Fairfield in eastern Freestone County. In 1927 Freestone County resident 
Reuben S. Red purchased land along Jelly Slough (also referred to as Old Jolly 
Cole Slough). He constructed an earthen dam and created a 200-acre reservoir 
known as Red's Lake. Eventually the region was identified as simply Red Lake, 
and Reuben Red ran a fishing camp and store there until 1937. Red built another 
lake, a seventy-acre reservoir on the other side of U.S. 84, in 1947. Red died 
in 1956, and his widow built a third lake consisting of thirty acres in the 
early 1960s.
