The charming quiet lakeside community of Lake Dallas is one of Denton County’s ‘best kept secrets’ located just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in one of the most vital growth areas of North Texas. Lake Dallas is a quaint, close-knit community with small shops, restaurants, community parks, churches and a revitalized downtown. Situated along the shores of Lewisville Lake, the city offers recreational opportunities for boating, camping, fishing, picnics and ball fields. Lake Dallas hosts five special events throughout the year including a Mardi Gras festival, Independence Day, WaterFest at Willow Grove Park, Halloween Spook-tacular and Holiday Lighting.
