About
Westlake Day Use sits on the western banks of Lewisville Lake, a nearly 30,000-acre reservoir on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in northern Texas. The facility features four group shelters equipped with large grills, water, and electric hookups, all within walking distance of restrooms. The lake rests above an archeological site where prehistoric remains dating back to 12,000 B.C. have been found, making this one of the oldest human-inhabited sites in the Southwest United States. Lewisville Lake hosts numerous fishing tournaments throughout the year, drawing anglers seeking trophy-sized bass. The warm water temperatures create ideal conditions for boating, jet skiing, and other water sports. While the lake generally has low visibility, its extensive surface area provides ample space for recreational activities. The facility is conveniently located about 40 minutes from Dallas, with horseback riding and golfing opportunities nearby.
Directions
From Dallas, go north on I-35E and take the Swisher Exit (exit 458). Cross over I-35 onto North Denton Drive. Stay on Denton Drive until the Main Street stop sign. Turn left and stay on Main Street until it enters into the park at 2000 Main Street, Hickory Creek, TX.
