Late spring and summer days are often brutal in Texas. Luckily, our state has tons of gorgeous bodies of water to cool off in! One of them is Canyon Lake, a pristine oasis in the iconic Texas Hill Country region. The lake and surrounding town boast endless outdoor recreation opportunities, from swimming at white sand beaches to casting a line from the fishing pier. It’s one of the best lake towns in Texas to visit when the weather is warm!
Created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Canyon Lake is a manmade reservoir on the Guadalupe River - and one of the best warm weather destinations in America.
A total of eight parks surround the lake, three of which boast sandy beaches where you can go for a swim, bask in the sunlight, or make waves on a boat or other watercraft. There are designated areas for fishing, and spectacular sunsets await you at night.
Spanning 65 acres, the formation of the gorge uncovered ancient rock dating back over 100 million years, exposing fossils and even dinosaur footprints.
When it comes to lodging, Canyon Lakeview Resort is the cream of the crop. Choose between cozy cottages and lodge suites, all with incredible waterfront views and luxury amenities such as full kitchens and high speed internet.
