Lake Lewisville COE?

[TSU_Bowhunter]

I was under the impression that Lake Lewisville was not open for hunting, but upon further research found out it is?

1st Question. Is the hunting in this area any good?

2nd Question. On the hunting maps for the lake you can find it has a section labeled "City of Denton Hunting" What is this area? Still considered part of COE land, or does it have it's own set of rules and regulations (likely following denton county hunting regulations)?

If any one could shed some light on this subject for me I would be very appreciative as I am interested in hunting out here!

Regarding bowhunting, they give out permits. I believe they have given out all their permits this year.

You can get a permit at the Lake Lewisville office. For the Denton hunting, you have to go thru a separate entity.

Man this is great as I also thought Lake Lewisville was closed to hunting. I driver from Denton to Allen every day right down 380 and always say to myself I wish there was a way for me to hunt that land. Do you know what entity I need to go through for the Denton hunting?

I believe it is the city of Denton, but not sure. I picked up my permit from the lake lewisville office....figured that was good enough for now.....it was the second to last permit issued from what the lady told me. I didn't have the time to check out the city of Denton. I bet if you do some googling you can find out....or call the lake lewisville office and they'll tell you

Not yet. Although, I do have a couple access points lined out and I've looked at a few maps.

It is hogs only...


and this from the website listed above:

Legal Hunting Weapons and Methods: Archery only for feral hogs, all other legal game may be taken with a shotgun using shot size no larger then #2. Crossbows WILL be allowed to hunt Feral Hogs. It is ILLEGAL to hunt with or carry Muzzleloaders, rifles and pistols while on USACE property.
