Our Story
The Hidden Lake was formed when the city of Katy, TX, needed dirt for a project. Kinsel Industries, Inc. was contracted by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and reached out to Gary Kerr at Faith West Academy to negotiate a deal. TXDOT agreed to excavate the area, line the lake, and install a pump filtration system in exchange for the dirt. As a result, the Pin Oak overpass on I-10 was constructed.
