Lake LBJ, Texas

Things to Do on Lake LBJ

On the water, on the greens, and around the Hill Country

Lake LBJ packs a full trip into one stretch of the Highland Lakes. Spend the morning on the water, the afternoon on a course or a trail, and the evening at a dockside table or a downtown wine bar. Here is how to fill the days.

On the Water

A constant-level lake means the boating never has to pause for the season.

Boating and Watersports

Wakeboarding, tubing, jet skis, and pontoon cruises are a way of life here, with calm, clear water across the lake.

Marinas and Rentals

Rent, dock, or launch for the day at Lake LBJ Yacht Club & Marina and Blue Lake Marina, both around Kingsland.

Fishing

Chase largemouth bass, striped bass, and catfish, from a boat or right off a home dock.

Swimming and Coves

Quiet coves around Granite Shoals and Sunrise Beach Village are made for a calm swim or a paddle.

Dining and Nightlife

From boat-up burgers to a full night out in Marble Falls.

Waterfront Dining

Boat-up spots like Boat Town Burger Bar, Wakepoint LBJ, and Bay View Restaurant serve lake views with the meal.

Steak and Fine Dining

Junction Prime in Kingsland and The Bistro at Flat Creek Estate near Marble Falls for a bigger night.

Live Music and Nightlife

Cuvee Wine and Piano Bar, Brass Hall, and Cadillac Dance Hall keep the downtown Marble Falls nights going.

Golf, Parks, and Nature

Off the water, the Hill Country gives you plenty of room to roam.

Golf Courses

Horseshoe Bay Resort's Slick Rock, Apple Rock, and Ram Rock are among the Hill Country's most acclaimed.

Parks and Pickleball

Quarry Park in Granite Shoals has covered pickleball and tennis courts, walking trails, and community events.

Longhorn Cavern State Park

Guided tours through a rare natural cavern carved by an ancient underground river, minutes from the lake.

A neighboring park for hiking, camping, kayaking, and swimming in spring-fed water.

Wine and Local

The Texas Hill Country wine trail runs right through the area.

Hill Country Wineries

Tastings at Spicewood Vineyards, Flat Creek Estate, and more, an easy afternoon out from any community.
