Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, just west of San Marcos and northwest of New Braunfels. Although it is the smallest of the Salt River's lakes, compensates for its little size is breathtaking beauty. This breathtaking scenery is less than a 45-minute drive from downtown Phoenix, making it a popular summer destination with a limited amount of powerboats. On most Saturdays, the lake reaches capacity about mid-morning, so you should plan accordingly.

Beachcombing, sailing the clear waters to a private cove, waterskiing, tubing, and even scuba diving are all options at Canyon Lake. If the lake is too crowded for you, head to the eastern coast for some peace and quiet. Despite a large number of people, fishing on the lake is excellent. Rainbow trout, yellow bass, and largemouth bass are among the species that you will find there.
