Moss Creek Lake is a 400-acre reservoir located southeast of Big Spring, Texas. The lake features sandstone bluffs along portions of the shoreline, providing scenic backdrops for paddling excursions. Boat access is available via designated boat ramps managed by the city of Big Spring.

The lake accommodates both motorized and non-motorized watercraft, making it suitable for kayaking and canoeing while requiring awareness of other boat traffic. The modest size makes it particularly appropriate for beginners and families, as demonstrated by successful trips with young paddlers. The lake's shoreline offers opportunities to explore close to the distinctive sandstone formations.

Facilities include boat ramps, beaches, picnic shelters, and camping options. Primitive camping is available on the south side of the lake, while the north side offers sites with water and electrical hookups. Note that the north side's elevated bluffs can make boat carrying challenging.

Common fish species include carp, largemouth bass, and bluegill, allowing for kayak fishing opportunities. While the fishing is consistent, catch sizes tend to be modest.

The lake has served as a surface water source since 1938, when it was constructed by the City of Big Spring with assistance from the Army Corps of Engineers. Currently, water is pumped from E.V. Spence Reservoir to Moss Creek Lake before transfer to the Colorado River Municipal Water District transmission system.

Access requires an entry permit, and the lake is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Additional amenities include a swimming beach area and OHV trails in the surrounding area. The lake's relatively protected setting creates favorable conditions for paddling throughout most of the year.
