Horse farms and ranches in southcentral Denton County’s Copper Canyon
Copper Canyon was incorporated in the 1970s to preserve its rural charm on the northern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Today, the town is still a place for country living, home to a few horse farms and ranches in southcentral Denton County. Equestrian and hiking trails surround the community, meandering through prairies and lakefront woodlands. “It’s a quiet and beautiful area with lots of majestic oak trees,” says longtime local Jollete Ryon, a Realtor with Compass RE Texas. “There is not a lot of turnover. It’s got a small-town feel.”
New subdivisions continue to rise on the edges of Denton County’s Copper Canyon.
Lewisville Lake spans nearly 20,000 acres for boating, waterskiing, and fishing.

Older custom properties range from ranch-style to New Traditional
The median sale price is about $1.4 million. New subdivisions like Vickery Park and the incoming Williams Ranch offer new construction, contemporary homes. HOA's vary throughout the area, depending on neighborhood. Ryon says most properties range from 1970s ranch-style houses to early 1990s New Traditional homes. Properties located within special flood zones, like those with creeks running through the backyard, require flood insurance. Lewisville Lake is a flood control reservoir, but heavy rainfall can cause spillover.
Ranch-style homes often sit on oak-shaded lots across Copper Canyon.
New Traditional homes appear in newer subdivisions near Copper Canyon.

Football rivalry fuels community spirit at Marcus High
Some of Copper Canyon’s northern and western fringes fall within the Denton Independent School District, graded an overall A-minus on Niche, but most of the community is served by the Lewisville Independent School District, which earns an A and ranks as the second-best district in Denton County. Marcus High is a local standout, graded A-plus, ranking among Denton County’s top public high schools. In true Texas fashion, the high school is known for its football team – the Marauders – and energizing gameday performances by the Marcus Marquettes Drill Team and the award-winning Marcus High School Band. The high school has a longstanding rivalry with Flower Mound High. Tickets to the Mound Showdown, a 25-year tradition, sell out annually.
Students thrive at Marcus High, a public school in Highland Village known for academic and athletic quality.

Lewisville Lake offers waterskiing, boating and fishing
Copper Canyon edges the Hickory Creek Arm of Lewisville Lake. “That’s a big draw,” Ryon says. “It’s just a huge lake where people waterski and boat and fish.” The reservoir spans almost 30,000 acres, and early risers can watch beautiful sunrises on it from Pilot Knoll Park. The peninsular green space is just outside Copper Canyon in Highland Village. Visitors can ride horses, rent kayaks, swim or just cast some lines. Annual passes are required for the boat ramp. The town has an extensive park system along Grapevine Lake, less than 10 miles away; this includes Murrell Park, a lakeside hub for mountain biking, hiking, camping, boating and more.
Calm water at Hickory Creek invites quiet paddling on Lewisville Lake.
