Humans and Nature: Lake Lewisville

CedarCide has a lot in common with Lewisville Lake, the 29,000 acre lake that’s about a mile from our warehouse in Lewisville, Texas. Both are combinations of human power and nature to create something awesome. Lewisville Lake, like every lake in Texas, was man made. The lake provides water to the city of Dallas and its surrounding suburbs, and CedarCide provides natural insect protection to people around the world.

The lake’s primary purpose is to provide water, but it gives so much more. There are 10 parks around the 233 miles of shoreline, providing beaches, picnic facilities, and scenic golf courses. There are 7 campgrounds that allow people to really get in tune with the lake. Fishing is a common activity on the lake, and there have even been fishing competitions. There are a few restaurants and bars on the shores as well as Captain Jack’s Floating Bar and Grill which is actually on the lake. The lake provides commerce as well, with many companies selling, renting, repairing, or storing boats. CedarCide matches the lake again, offering pet shampoo and sunscreen in addition to the insect products.

Many of the people who work at CedarCide have a personal connection with Lewisville Lake. Ray and Dave take Dave’s boat out to the lake and go wakeboarding every weekend when it’s warm enough. They’ve also been known to go when it’s freezing cold. A few of us have accepted their invitations to join them. Matt used the lake as his training ground while he was training for a marathon last year. The I-35 bridge over Lake Lewisville provides a great view for Austin and Neil, who live in Denton. They’ve been able to appreciate it for an extra long time due to the 4 year construction project on that road.

We’re very big fans of Lewisville Lake. It’s a wonderful, powerful combination of nature and human engineering that we aim to be as well.
