Inks Lake is a small, serene constant-level reservoir in the Texas Hill Country, covering approximately 800 acres between Lake Buchanan and Lake LBJ. Where the larger Highland Lakes draw crowds, Inks Lake keeps a peaceful, intimate character, and its dependable year-round water level — maintained by the LCRA at Inks Dam, completed in 1938 — makes it a reliable setting for boating, fishing, and lakeside living in every season.
The lake is home to Inks Lake State Park, one of Central Texas's most popular parks, offering camping, hiking, swimming, kayaking, and some of the finest stargazing in the region, as well as Camp Longhorn, a historic summer camp that has welcomed generations of Texas families. With only a limited number of residential properties along its shoreline, Inks Lake remains a favorite among buyers seeking a quieter, more private lake experience.
For those drawn to seclusion, natural beauty, and the rare stability of a constant-level lake — all while remaining firmly within the Highland Lakes region and a short drive from Burnet and Marble Falls — Inks Lake offers a distinctive and increasingly rare waterfront opportunity.
