Fall into the Water Recreation Capital of Texas
Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River
Madonna Kimball.

The cooler weather of fall and winter doesn’t just mean the leaves have started to change colors; there are still plenty of things to do here.

In the fall, the brilliantl reds, golds and orange colors inspire the artist in everyone with a palette of colors that even the Catskills, the Great Smoky Mountains, and the Ozarks would envy. Now, imagine yourself in a small sailboat on a blue/ green water lake with a pleasantly cool breeze covering your body as your eyes take in the color of the surrounding Hill Country. Just as easily, you could find yourself in some waders in the middle of the Guadalupe River testing your fly rod skills against the rainbow trout waiting just below the surface.

The Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake, at least in the Chambers opinion, is a crown jewel of the Texas Hill Country. It’s a place that brings a sense of peace and well being to visitors. It’s a place where memories are made with family and friends. It’s a place to observe, develop and enhance an appreciation of nature. It’s a place where strangers can become friends and friends become family. We encourage you to give Canyon Lake a visit so that you can experience what many already know and love.

I’ve heard it said a number of times that it’s all about location, location, location. Being centrally located an hour’s drive between San Antonio and Austin, TX. Canyon Lake is certainly no exception to this statement with all its natural beauty, historic places and unique people. In the summer with the Guadalupe River flowing in and out of Canyon Lake, this area has always been known as the Water Recreation Capital of Texas. But now this area is also being known as a year round destination for good reason.
