HIGHLAND VILLAGE – Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will officially launch five new paddling trails on Lewisville Lake in Highland Village, bringing the total number of Texas Paddling Trails to 96.
A launch ceremony and grand opening event for the Hickory Creek Arm trails took place June 25 at 11 a.m. at Lakeside Community Park, 707 Highland Village Road, in Highland Village. The five new trails offer multiple access points with several options for a short half-hour or half-day paddle on Lewisville Lake, adding a total of eight miles in official paddling trails to the statewide program. The access points include Marauder Park, Pilot Knoll Park, Sunset Point Park, Lakeside Community Park and Copperas Branch Park.
“TPWD is excited about the addition of the Highland Village Paddling Trails on the Hickory Creek Arm of Lewisville Lake,” said Shelly Plante, nature tourism manager for TPWD. “Paddlers will have plenty of options for loops and oneway trails, along with opportunities to fish and view wildlife on this beautiful section of the lake.”
