Grapevine Lake

Grapevine Lake is an American reservoir located in the North Texas region, approximately 20 mi northwest of Dallas and northeast of Fort Worth. It was impounded in 1952 by the US Army Corps of Engineers when they dammed Denton Creek, a tributary of Trinity River.

The reservoir’s primary purposes are flood control and to act as a municipal water reservoir, with a secondary function of providing recreation and open space areas. The lake’s name comes from the city of Grapevine, Texas, to which the lake is adjacent.
