Lewisville Lake is one of the largest lakes in northern Texas and was formed by the damming of the Elk Fork of the Trinity River for flood control and to provide drinking water to the citizens of Dallas. The lake is in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, and it is a popular recreation site, particularly on weekends.

One of the more appealing weekend attractions is the laid-back atmosphere of Party Cove near Westlake Park, where people drink and listen to music while relaxing in tied-up boats. There is an annual large scale bass fishing tournament on Lewisville Lake, which is stocked with largemouth, spotted, white, and hybrid striped bass. The many parks around the lake provide places to sunbathe, swim, and go boating; several establishments offer boat and jet-ski rentals.
