Put Your Toes in the Sand
Lakefront at Little Elm is home to an amazing beach for relaxation and family fun this Memorial Day Weekend. Little Elm’s beach has one of the largest open swim areas in North Texas and offers so much to do – float in the water, build sandcastles, play sand volleyball, rent kayaks or stand up paddleboards and cookout on the grill. This beach is pristine as it is cleaned and groomed daily. Little Elm Beach is always open, always free and there are life jackets available on loan.
Head Out to the Water
Lakefront at Little Elm is the perfect place to rent a ski boat, pontoon or a waverunner and spend a memorable day out on the lake. Visit Cottonwood Creek Boat Rentals at Cottonwood Creek Marina, located in a quiet cove in Little Elm on the NorthEast Shores of Lake Lewisville. Their mission is to provide an easy, fun and safe boating experience for all. Whether you’ve never boated before or you are a seasoned veteran on the water, CCBR can get you out on the water enjoying the beautiful Lake Lewisville in no time at all.
