Frisco does not have a lake inside the city limits, but it has something almost as good: the east shore of Lewisville Lake about 15 to 20 minutes away, with Lavon Lake and Ray Roberts Lake each a short drive beyond. That makes Frisco one of the easiest places in North Texas to plan a boat or jet ski day, whether it is a Saturday with the kids, a birthday on the water or a team outing on a weekday afternoon.
MasterCraft surf and wake boats for 12 to 18 people, three-seat Sea-Doos, a Kawasaki stand-up jet ski and water toys for every age, all ready at the lake when you arrive. Book online in a few minutes, or call or text 888-205-7119 any day from 7am to 10pm.
| Lake | From central Frisco | Why go |
|---|---|---|
| Lewisville Lake | About 15 to 20 minutes | The go-to lake for Frisco, with parks in Little Elm and The Colony, a sandy public beach and big open water for surfing. |
| Lavon Lake | About 35 minutes | Wide-open water east of Allen and Wylie, with four-lane ramps and swim areas at the Corps parks. |
| Ray Roberts Lake | About 35 to 40 minutes | Long, uncrowded runs and a state park on nearly every shore, a good pick when Lewisville is busy. |
| Grapevine Lake | About 35 minutes | A smaller lake with swim beaches and quick half-day sessions, handy if part of the group is coming from the airport. |
| Lake Ray Hubbard | About 40 minutes | A big east-side lake with long ski runs and dinner at The Harbor in Rockwall afterward. |
| Lake Texoma | About an hour | The big Red River lake, worth the drive for a full day or a long weekend. |
Drive times are rough estimates from central Frisco without traffic. Weekend traffic on the Sam Rayburn Tollway and Eldorado Parkway can add time in summer.
Weekday afternoons on Lewisville are quieter than weekends, which makes them ideal for a company outing. Add a captain so nobody from the office has to drive, and mix boat rides with jet ski runs.
A MasterCraft holds 12 to 18 people, so the whole party fits on one boat. Add tubes, a lily pad or the water trampoline so everyone has something to do.
Start at Little Elm Beach so younger kids can swim, then take turns tubing and riding the Sea-Doos with the older kids.
Most Frisco groups meet us on the east shore of Lewisville Lake, where the parks are closest:
Frisco team outings and birthday groups usually fit on one MasterCraft surf boat rental for 12 to 18 people, which keeps everyone together instead of splitting across two boats. A couple of Sea-Doo jet skis (PWC) give riders something to do between surf sets, and floating mats and tubes keep younger kids busy in the coves. For company days, a captained charter lets the whole team relax while someone else drives.


For most Frisco groups the choice comes down to two lakes. Lewisville Lake is the closest and the busiest, with Little Elm Beach for swimmers and wide open water near Hidden Cove for surf sets. Lavon Lake takes 15 to 20 minutes longer to reach but usually has more elbow room on summer weekends and holidays. If the plan is a long day of surfing, start early on Lewisville; if the group cares more about space to spread out, Lavon is often the better call. Ray Roberts Lake is a third option when both are crowded.
Frisco’s lake country overlaps with its neighbors: Little Elm and The Colony sit right on the Lewisville shoreline, Plano and McKinney are closest to Lavon, and our Lewisville Lake guide covers every park and ramp. See all areas we serve for more.
