    Inks Lake coming up!

    Outta here Friday afternon to hit the road for Inks Lake SP. Never been, but intend to make the most of the time there: taking the train ride in Austin, going on the "Vanishing Texas River Cruise", and touring Longhorn cavern as well. Should be fun!

    Almitra,
    Have a great time, the weather should be great! We are leaving for the Frio River on Sunday and I should be able to give an extensive report about Garner State Park after a five day visit. We have done the Vanishing River trip and had a private dinner at Longhorn Caverns. Both of the excursions are still talked about. Have fun

    Re: Inks Lake coming up!

    Ok, I'm back now:
    This place is the best we've been to here in TX yet!
    There are oodles of sites (water, water & elec, cabins, and RV sites). We stayed in #314 right on the lake & except for an especially vocal (and loud) wetland creature, enjoyed it very much. The noise at night (Memorial weekend) was predominantly from this little reptile hiding oin the reeds, but we also had a little racket outta some nearby neighbors, but only once. It was dry all weekend, so we slept each night with no rainfly---yippee!!!! The sites in our area were well spaced, but I can't say that about the water-elec sites closer to the Devil's waterhole. The waterhole was our salvation as it was fun and exciting (not to mention a welcome cooling reprieve), and my 9 YO son loved the jumping cliffs! Gotta swim there, ya'll!!!!
    The restrooms were busy, but kept clean and stocked adequately. The park store is great and the rentals for kayaks, canoes and pedal boats were popular. They even had a local band there that played folk musc that Friday evening we arrived. The nearest big store for groceries was HEB in Burnet (9miles). The park store does carry ice and incidental grocery items (firewood, too), but they're REALLY high. Bring your own firewood if at all possible.
    The trails are nice, from what I saw....but it was way too hot to hike really.
    We liked this place a lot and would like to return...just maybe with a water-elec site this time. :P

    We had 315 the first time we went. It's a great park, even when it's busy. Glad ya'll had a great time.

    In fact, my picture here is that very campsite.
    Charcoal is a spice, dirt is a condiment, and there is no 3 second rule.
