Lake Lewisville

Lake Lewisville, also called Lewisville Lake, is one of the biggest and busiest lakes in North Texas. It sits on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in Denton County, about 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, and covers roughly 29,000 acres with more than 180 miles of shoreline. Lewisville, Little Elm, The Colony, Highland Village, Lake Dallas, Hickory Creek and Oak Point all line its shores, and there are more than 20 parks around the lake. We offer the best boats, jet skis and water toys at Lake Lewisville, so you can rent a boat in Lewisville, Texas and spend the day on the water without towing your own.

Lake Lewisville Jet Ski Rentals

Party Boats and Boat Rides on Lake Lewisville

Planning a birthday, a bachelor or bachelorette party or a company outing? We don't rent party barges or pontoons, but our larger MasterCraft boats have room for the whole group, and you can add tubes, wakesurf boards and a water trampoline. If you'd rather just ride along, book a private boat charter and one of our captains will drive while your group swims, tubes and cruises the lake. See all of our boat charters and lake tours.

Parks, Beaches and Boat Ramps

Lake Lewisville has public boat ramps all around the shore. Some of the biggest are at Lake Park in Lewisville, Hidden Cove Park near The Colony and Little Elm Park, which also has one of the lake's most popular sandy swim beaches. Hidden Cove Park has campsites and cabins right on the water. The Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge links Lake Dallas and Little Elm across the north end, and the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA), a nature preserve of about 2,000 acres, sits just below the dam at the south end. We'll confirm your meeting spot when you book.

Fishing on Lake Lewisville

Lewisville is a popular fishing lake with largemouth bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, crappie and catfish. Many anglers fish the creek arms and the standing timber on the north end, while others target white bass and hybrids out on the main lake. You'll need a Texas fishing license.

Good to Know Before You Go

• Texas boating rules: anyone born on or after September 1, 1993 needs a Texas boater education certificate to drive a jet ski or a boat over 15 horsepower, including rentals. Drivers must be at least 13 unless an adult 18 or older is on board, jet skis can't be ridden between sunset and sunrise, and our rental drivers must be 18 or older. Ask us before you book and we'll walk you through what you need.
• Life jackets: children under 13 must wear a life jacket while the boat is moving, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one.
• Watch for stumps: the upper arms of the lake have standing timber and stumps, especially when the water is low, so stay in open water when you're towing or riding fast.
• Weekends are busy: Lewisville gets crowded on summer weekends and holidays, so book early and plan on a weekday if you want quieter water.
• Beat the heat: Texas summers are hot, so bring plenty of water, shade and sunscreen.
