Lake Lewisville, Texas
Facts & Features

Lake Lewisville Texas Fishihng Guides Photo: Doug Lay ©2008 all rights reserved

Just north of Dallas, popular Lake Lewisville is a 29,592 acre lake with unlimited outdoor recreation opportunities. Over 20 parks surround the lake and offer camping, hiking, picnicking, horseback riding, boating, and golf.

The City of Dallas constructed the original lake, Lake Dallas, in the 1920's for water supply. The Garza Dam on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River was completed in 1927 and water storage began in 1928, creating the lake. The orignial dam was 10,890 feet long with a 567-feet long service spillway. Normal pool elevation was 515 feet above msl (mean sea level). To increase water storage capacity for a growing community, the Corps began construction of the Lewisville Dam in 1948. The cities of Dallas and Denton contributed funds for construction and own most of the water to this day. The new dam would impound the waters of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, as Lake Dallas had, but also Stewart, Panther, Cottonwood, Doe Branch, LIttle Elm, Pecan and Hickory Creeks.

The lake was created by the completion of the dam in 1955 and later renamed Lewisville Lake. Lake Dallas's dam was later breached and the two lakes combined. The dam is 32,888 feet long (over six miles) and is constructed of compacted soil.
