Welcome to Texas Nitro Neil. Never lived there but I have family that lives in your neck of the woods (Corinth and Watauga).You might want to try Eagle Mountain, and Lake Lewisville. Been on them both, Lake Lewisville is like Havasu but a little more tame but the boats aren't. Good party cove around the 35E bridge. I'll get some more info from my father in law and I'll PM you with more Lakes. What size boat?
