While you are in the area, you will want to see Lake Buchanan, Lake LBJ and Inks Lake, three of the Highland Lake chain formed by dams on the Colorado River. They are full this year and you will be in for some of the best fishing, boating and scenery in Texas. Lake Marble Falls is a beautiful lake as well. Flooding in June 2007 limits use of this lake for awhile.
