Review:

Inks Lake State Park is located in the heart of the Hill Country about an hour from Austin.

It was created to protect the environment of Inks Lake on the Colorado River and is surrounded by lush forests, a mix of live oak, cedar, prickly pear cacti, and yuccas.

The park is rich in wildlife, including deer, vultures, and many types of birds. The lake and the park are a popular family destination on hot summer days.

Visitors can camp, picnic, backpack, play volleyball, hike and observe nature. There are nine miles of hiking trails through pleasant, shady forests and over rocky hills.

The group picnic pavilion is available for family get-togethers and parties, while the pleasantly cool lake is great for swimming, boating, scuba diving, fishing, and water skiing.

There is no lifeguard on duty.
