**Access & Facilities**
Copperas Branch Park offers convenient public access to the Hickory Creek Arm of Lewisville Lake via a two-lane concrete boat ramp with parking for approximately 30 vehicles. Located in Highland Village just north of Lewisville (accessible from the I-35E Hickory Creek exit), the park charges a day-use fee for admission. In addition to the ramp, the facility includes restrooms, picnic tables, and a swim beach—making it suitable for a full day of recreation.
**Paddling Conditions**
The Hickory Creek Arm provides calm water paddling typical of Lewisville Lake's 29,592-acre reservoir. This is an ideal location for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters seeking protected water conditions without significant current or gradient concerns. The arm's protected coves and surrounding park setting make it accessible for paddlers of varying skill levels.
**Planning Your Visit**
As a day-use facility open to the general public, Copperas Branch Park is well-suited for launching paddling trips on the Hickory Creek Arm or exploring the broader Lewisville Lake system, which has over 20 parks around its perimeter. Contact the Town of Hickory Creek or check current conditions before visiting, as fees and hours may vary seasonally.
