Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake Texas offers lake activities, boating, fishing, and camping. The surrounding areas offer great hilltop views, lake access, floating down the rivers, or just enjoying the country.

From the sparkling, translucent water to the surrounding rocky cliffs, this lake is among the most beautiful in Texas. Canyon Lake reaches across 8,200 acres of surface area in Central Texas’ Hill Country, with 80 miles of shoreline and providing endless opportunities for swimming, diving, fishing, hiking, boating, camping, and other outdoor activities.

Best swim beaches: Canyon Park’s swim beach #1 and swim beach #2 as well as the swim beach located in Comal Park. You’ll find wide stretches of sand, numerous picnic areas, and plenty of parking.

Multiple campgrounds make it easy to enjoy an extended visit. Reserve a spot at Cranes Mill Park, Potter’s Creek Park, or North Park. Bonus for active and retired military members: You also have access to the campgrounds at Joint Base San Antonio, right on the eastern shores of Canyon Lake.

Canyon Lake was formed in 1964 after the completion of the Canyon Dam, and it has inflows and outflows to the Guadalupe River. The lake has long been a favorite for swimmers and divers because of its extraordinarily clear water. In fact, Canyon Lake has the second highest clarity among Texas lakes.

Parks provide multiple gateways to Canyon Lake. The Army Corps of Engineers operates seven parks, while Comal County has a few others.

When you enjoy Canyon Lake, you’re close to all the fun the Texas Hill Country offers. You can float the Guadalupe River, and tubes are available through local rental companies just south of Canyon Lake or take in live music a few miles away at the famous Gruene Hall or Whitewater Amphitheater.
