On October 14th, we visited Lake Lewisville to see first hand the condition of the lake. We set out on the kayaks, after partnering with DFW surf. The 6 of us kayaked for several hours, and observed the lake. Afterwards we interviewed the locals and utilized a Grassroot campaign.
We saw a lot of dead trees that covered one of the shore lines and very little trash in and around the lake. However, the lack of trash in the lake was made up by the fuel exhaust that surrounded the boat pier. One local said he could swim around the pier, but now there is too much exhaust pollution to even swim in certain parts of the pier. The boats that sit on the pier are the reason for this exhaust. Not only was the exhaust pollution a problem, the flooding in 2015, as well as the minor flooding this year, caused lots of damage to the environment and the homes that sit on the lake. The pavilions used to be submerged. This no doubt caused a lot of property damage and water damage to the structural integrity of those pavilions submerged.
