Life on the lake, minutes from Dallas

Lakefront Boating Parks Gardens Downtown Dallas

The crown jewel of Dallas is White Rock Lake, a dazzling aquamarine oasis roughly five miles northeast of downtown. The White Rock Lake neighborhood surrounds the actual lake and includes several parks. The actual lake covers 1,254 acres and is a popular spot for paddle boarding, sailing, canoeing, and kayaking. Trails surrounding the lake provide opportunities for walking, jogging, and bicycling. Apartments in the White Rock Lake area provide a resort-like feel while still being minutes from downtown. This peaceful oasis includes the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, a large garden that covers nearly 70 acres and provides beautiful hideaways like The Paseo, the Boswell Family Garden, the Woman's Garden, Pecan Grove, and Crape Myrtle Allee.
