Inks Lake is a reservoir in the Texas Hill Country that was formed in 1938 by the construction of Inks Dam. It was named after Roy B. Inks, an original board member for the Lower Colorado River Authority. The lake provides flood control and features a small hydroelectric power plant. For recreational uses, Inks Lake is best suited for swimming, fishing, boating, and camping. Adjacent to the lake is Inks Lake State Park. Visitors of the park come here to backpack, golf, or park their boats. One activity that adventure enthusiasts might like is cliff jumping at the "Devil's Water Hole."
