The Colony, City by the Lake, is one of the best kept secrets in the heart of North Texas, best known for strikingly beautiful views of Lewisville Lake. Residents and visitors immerse themselves in hundreds of acres of wildlife as they enjoy a myriad of recreational adventures including camping, fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, picnicking and cycling.

While some retreat, many compete at The Tribute, Stewart Peninsula and The Old American, our prestigious golf courses; The Colony Five Star, a multi-use athletic complex; and Blue Sky Sports Center, an indoor soccer facility. The Colony was named #1 Sportstown in Texas by Sports Illustrated Magazine and the National Parks and Recreation Association for their commitment to enhance sports for the community.
