One of the best things about living in Denton is easy access to Lake Lewisville. The 29,000 acre lake which offers 233 miles of shoreline is actually a reservoir which served as the main water source for the Dallas/Fort Worth area for over 30 years. These days, it’s the perfect way to escape the brutal Texas heat while camping in an RV, taking your boat out on the water, fishing, swimming or having a beer at a dockside restaurant.
