Cedar Creek Lake is located approximately one hour southeast of Dallas, Texas. It is one of the most popular areas in Northeast Texas for those seeking lake activities, lake living and leisure. Cedar Creek Lake was voted Winner of D Magazine's "Worth the Commute" in its November, '01 issue, featuring Best Places to Live. Many of the Lake's residents do commute, and proclaim the hundred mile round trip well worth the serenity they experience upon returning home to the Lake at the end of a work day. The shoreline of Cedar Creek Lake is also a popular spot for "week-enders" who have purchased vacation/weekend homes that they can enjoy the year round.
