## About

Perched on the scenic shores of Lake Lewisville in Little Elm, The Cove at The Lakefront is North Texas's newest year-round indoor waterpark destination. Spanning 42,000 square feet under an innovative glass enclosure with a custom retractable roof, the facility keeps indoor water and air temperatures dialed to a comfortable 85°F all winter long, flooding the aquatic center with natural sunshine even on freezing days.

Families can test their surfing skills on the FlowRider double surf simulator, glide through gentle currents along the 480-foot lazy river, race down twisting enclosed waterslides, and shoot hoops in the deep-water activity pool. For toddlers and preschoolers, a dedicated splash pad with zero-depth entry, mini slides, and gentle spray fountains provides hours of safe entertainment. Concessions, cabana rentals, and mezzanine seating overlook the park.
