Fort Worth is located in North Texas, and has a generally humid subtropical climate.
It is part of the Cross Timbers region; this region is a boundary between the more heavily forested eastern parts and the rolling hills and prairies of the central part.
Specifically, the city is part of the Grand Prairie ecoregion within the Cross Timbers.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 349.2 square miles (904 km²), of which 342.2 square miles (886 km²) are land and 7.0 square miles (18 km²) are covered by water.
It is a principal city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, and the second largest.

Fort Worth is not entirely contiguous and has several enclaves, practical enclaves, semienclaves, and cities that are otherwise completely or nearly surrounded by it, including: Westworth Village, River Oaks, Saginaw, Blue Mound, Benbrook, Everman, Forest Hill, Edgecliff Village, Westover Hills, White Settlement, Sansom Park, Lake Worth, Lakeside, and Haslet.

Fort Worth contains over 1,000 natural-gas wells (December 2009 count) tapping the Barnett Shale.
Each well site is a bare patch of gravel 2–5 acres (8,100–20,200 m²) in size.
As city ordinances permit them in all zoning categories, including residential, well sites can be found in a variety of locations.
Some wells are surrounded by masonry fences, but most are secured by chain link.

A large storage dam was completed in 1914 on the West Fork of the Trinity River, 7 miles (11 km) from the city, with a storage capacity of 33,495 acre feet of water.
The lake formed by this dam is known as Lake Worth.
