Texas Hill Country Visitors Guide

Hill-Country.net

Lake LBJ is one of the top spots in Central Texas for getting out on the water and having some fun. As part of the Highland Lakes chain, it’s known for its steady water level and smooth surface—perfect for boating, wakeboarding, tubing, and jet skiing. Whether you’re bringing your own boat or renting one from a local marina, there’s plenty of space to cruise around and enjoy a sunny day on the lake. It’s a go-to destination for water sports lovers of all kinds.

Located between Kingsland and Horseshoe Bay, Lake LBJ sits right in the middle of the Highland Lakes, a string of connected lakes that stretch through the Hill Country. It’s a great launching point if you want to explore more of the area, with Inks Lake and Lake Marble Falls just a short ride away. Paddling through the calm coves or just floating with friends offers the kind of laid-back lake vibe that makes this part of Texas special.

Fishing is another big draw at Lake LBJ, and it's easy to see why. The lake is full of bass, catfish, crappie, and more, and you don’t need to be a pro to have a good time. You can fish from the shore, a dock, or hire a guide to take you out to the best spots. It’s a relaxing way to start the morning—or wind down after a day of jet skiing and tubing.

On shore, the fun doesn’t stop. There are plenty of marinas, lakeside restaurants, and places to kick back with a cold drink and a view. Towns like Marble Falls and Burnet are just a short drive away and offer great food, shopping, and local events. Whether you're out for an adventure or just want to chill by the water, Lake LBJ is an easy-going, all-around great place to spend a weekend—or a whole summer.
