Inks Lake State Park, Burnet

We needed to get away for a couple of days and Inks Lake State Park was perfect for my husband to do some bank fishing and for me to hike some trails. Mother Nature didn't disappoint and neither did the busy park staff. The park was buzzing with new construction activity but they didn't start too soon or continue too late in the evenings. The cabin that we booked had cool AC and adequate bunk beds. We enjoyed the colorful sunsets and the wildlife: deer, birds, cotton tail rabbits, and a skunk.

Gorgeous park! Some of the hiking trails are rocky with exposed granite outcroppings and can be uneven. I would recommend wearing boots. The views of the lake from multiple locations are amazing! Pets must be on a leash. Great spot for birding! One of the best state parks in Texas!
