Beautiful clear turquoise waters surrounded by the magnificent rolling terrain of the Texas Hill Country! Great parks, picnic areas and beaches. Fun for boating (there's always water) kayaking and swimming or just floating in a tube. My favorite place to spend a day!

The lake level was quite low, due to drought, taking away from the beauty of the shoreline. This is a completely different type of water body than... More

We spent a few minutes on the overlook, and walking out on the dam. Just a beautiful place to stop, swim, or picnic. A short walk down to the water, but the walk up is all uphill. The bathroom could be better stocked, and better kept.
