Lake Park

Pilot Knoll Park gives Highland Village its lake access

Pilot Knoll Park borders Lake Lewisville in Highland Village, and its size actually changes with the water, running from about 65 to 85 acres as lake levels rise and fall. It is a spot for nature lovers, campers, hikers, and horseback riders.

The park has a day-use area plus both improved and primitive camping, and its boat ramp comes with a courtesy dock and parking, so it works for everything from a picnic to an overnight to a morning out on the water.

Pilot Knoll is a good reminder that Lake Lewisville access is spread across several Denton County cities, not just Lewisville itself. Check Highland Village for current ramp status, camping rules, and lake-level changes before you go.
