Caney City, Texas
Caney City is a small lakefront town on the east side of Cedar Creek Lake. It's one of 13 communities served by the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.
About Caney City
Caney City occupies a peninsula between two arms of Cedar Creek Lake: Clear Creek to the north and Caney Creek to the south. It shares the peninsula with its neighbor Log Cabin. State Highway 198 runs along the east side of town, linking Caney City with Mabank 14 miles to the north and Malakoff 3 miles to the south. With water on most sides, it's a natural spot for lake homes, fishing and boating.
