If you’re looking for a fun place to enjoy the lake, hit the trail or just hang out on the shore, head on over to Inks Lake State Park. This park is one of the most popular in the state and with good reason.
Hiking trails wind through granite outcroppings, live oak, cactus and mesquite along the banks of the lake.
Rangers invite visitors to fish with them typically one day a week on one of the park's two piers. Over the past several years, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials have created some nice fish habitats near these two piers. And, yes, they'll have equipment from the loaner program. Fishing in a state park means a license isn't necessary. Contact the park for Fishing with a Ranger times as they change throughout the year.
Electric boat rides are available for an extra charge, depending on the weather and the time of year. And that includes electronic boat sunset cruises, kayaking lessons and tours (even a midnight paddle.) Go on organized hikes with rangers and bird watch with a Master Naturalist. Bird-watching treks are on foot and by boat. Hiking can include lessons in geology or flora and fauna.
And don't worry about leaving at night. Among the features of the park's 1,200 acres are setups for the largest recreational vehicles to rustic campsites.
The park is located at 3630 Park Road 4 West near Burnet. Go to tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/inks-lake or call (512) 793-2223. You also can sign up for a monthly email newsletter.
