Surrounded
by 9,000 protected acres of nature, the lake spans 23,280
acres and has 233 miles of shoreline. With an average depth of 25
feet, the lake is large enough for all kinds of water sports
and still leaves room for some of the biggest fish this side of
Moby Dick. (Well, this is Texas after all.) Catch the big one in
the morning, then take a walk on our wild side and explore
miles of scenic trails all around the lake.
Lewisville Lake is a Corps of Engineers reservoir that is immensely popular
for water sports and outdoor recreation in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area. The City of Lewisville manages Lake Park on the south shore
of the lake: picnic area, RV and tent camping, pavilion, 24-hour
fishing barge, swimming beach and excellent public facilities. Marinas,
boat rentals, launch ramps and angler's supplies are also available.
Fishing on Lewisville Lake includes large-mouth bass, crappie, catfish,
white bass and spectacular hybrid white/striped bass. Swimming,
water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, sail boarding, camping, biking
and picnicking are all part of what makes the lake so much
fun.
