Pilot-Point
is a small city located in Denton County in northern Texas. As of the 2010 census, the population was 3,856 residents. Although small, Pilot Point is full of surprises and things to do. It's host to the Annual Bonnie & Clyde Days Festival because the town was used for the location of the 1968 film starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Not only that, but Pilot Point and neighboring towns were actually the old stomping grounds of Bonnie and Clyde, as well as other well-known "outlaws" of the day. Another major attraction to Pilot Point is nearby Ray Roberts Lake State Park. Activities include fishing, boating, picnicking, camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and swimming (no lifeguards on duty.) A beautiful resort is located high on a ridge overlooking the lake and offers stunning views. It's a popular place for weddings, romantic getaways, reunions and more. In addition, the Ray Roberts Lake/Lake Lewisville Greenbelt Corridor is a 20-mile multiuse, wooded trail system (12 miles for equestrian and 10 miles for hike and bike use) that begins at the Ray Roberts Dam and ends at the headwaters of Lake Lewisville.
