Canyon Lake, Texas: The Water Recreation Capital of the Lone Star State
Nestled between Austin and San Antonio, Canyon Lake is proudly known as the Water Recreation Capital of Texas. With 80 miles of scenic shoreline, it’s surrounded by welcoming communities like Hancock to the north, Sattler to the southwest, and Startzville to the west—all offering just the right mix of convenience and small-town charm. For more extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment, residents and visitors are just a short country drive away from San Marcos and New Braunfels.
Canyon Lake is a year-round destination, drawing “Winter Texans” from the northern U.S. and Canada seeking warmth and serenity. In summer, the lake and the Guadalupe River come alive with visitors enjoying tubing, kayaking, fishing, water skiing, or simply relaxing on the beaches. With 23 boat ramps and one of the most popular stretches of the Guadalupe intersecting the lake in Sattler, access is never an issue. For full-time residents, Canyon Lake offers stunning sunrises and sunsets, a peaceful, relaxed lifestyle, and proximity to city amenities when desired—a perfect balance of nature and convenience.
