About Lake Ray Hubbard

Lake Ray Hubbard is a 22,745-acre reservoir stretching across Rockwall, Dallas, Collin, and Kaufman counties — the crown jewel of waterfront living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. With over 70 miles of shoreline and year-round recreation, the lake attracts boaters, anglers, sailors, and families who want resort-style living without leaving North Texas.

Properties along Lake Ray Hubbard are among the most coveted in DFW. From private dock estates in Heath to marina-view properties near Rockwall Harbor, lakefront homes here combine breathtaking natural scenery with surprisingly competitive pricing compared to other Texas lake markets like Lake Austin or Lake Travis.

The lake's proximity to Dallas — just 20 miles from downtown via I-30 — means residents never have to choose between waterfront serenity and urban access. The Rockwall Sailing Club, world-class bass fishing tournaments, and the vibrant Harbor district make Lake Ray Hubbard a true four-season lifestyle destination.
