Canyon Lake Gorge
One of Texass newest natural landmarks, it dates back to 2002 when the Canyon Lake region received a full years worth of rainfall in a single weekend, causing the lake to overflow and rip through this small hill country valley, leaving behind the gorge that’s an awesome place for science nerds, history buffs and explorers, alike.
The Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country
To get educated on the history of this area, head to the Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country. You’ll find all sorts of artifacts from the Native American Indians that called this area home, old time farm equipment and even dinosaurs prints left behind during the Prehistoric Era!
Outdoors
Overlook Park
If the first thing on your list is taking a dip, then Canyon Lake has what you need, and there are two great places to jump in. If you can navigate some steep steps, head to Overlook Park. This park offers the best views of the Canyon Dam and its my favorite place to take a dip in Canyon Lakes waters because the boulders surrounding the water make for excellent diving boards.
Comal Park
If youve got small ones that want to play on a flat, rocky beach, then Comal Park has your name on it. It’s perfect for a family-friendly day at the lake.
