Description

Set in the Texas Hill Country, this expansive state park blends rugged granite trails and sweeping lake vistas with family-friendly camping. Hikers praise rocky, uneven routes and scenic overlooks; paddlers and anglers enjoy a calm, no-wave lake with kayak rentals and fishing gear available. Clean facilities, vending, lakefront RV sites, and proximity to Longhorn Cavern make it a top Texas outdoor escape.

Magnificent park! Some of the trails are rocky with exposed granite outcroppings and can be uneven. I would recommend wearing boots. The views of the lake of several sites are amazing! Pets must be on a leash. Great spot for birds! One of the best parks in Texas!

Big state park! We were in 332 and had plenty of space. We were close to two clean toilets with showers. There is access to the water, but the entrance is a bit dirty. The neighbors came in and enjoyed the water. There are vending machines to buy firewood and a general store. This is a popular park that is fast but for good reason books. Try it out, there is something for everyone!

We like the trails here. The terrain is exposed and decomposed granite transitions and trails. The trails are rocky, sturdy, uneven and some of a workout for most of us. We like the lake path (park near the entrance store) to the forest path, cross the paved road and walk around the mountain and under the stream lines to connect with Pecan Flats, then return over the paved road and finish the loop to the parking lot. RUGGED TERRAIN with gradual changes in height. Love this hike.

We only spent 3 nights here on the campsite 211. Great experience! We camped with 2 other families nearby and had a great time. There were 8 children among us and this park is great for children. Make sure to bring your fishing gear or rent/borrow some from the warehouse that is well stocked. We also rented kayaks and paddle around that was nice. There is plenty of shade and the lake is constant level, so you can always cool down in the water. Also visit Longhorn Cavern State Park, which is a short drive from Inks Lake and a great tour. We're coming back!

Inks Lake State Park TX has great campsites with the majority of the RV sites on the lake and with lake views. Friendly staff and very clean facilities. Pets must be on leash. I hiked the Pecan Flats Trail with my 81 years young mother. 1000FT Overlook of Inks Lake is a must see. The views of the lake and the Texas Hill Country is breathtaking. In one of my photos you can see a castle! Yes! There is a castle in Texas! Castle Falkenstein
