Welcome to Lake LBJ, a stunning constant level lake perched in the heart of the Hill Country. Spanning an impressive 6,534 acres of surface area, this scenic reservoir was brought to life with the completion of the Wirtz Dam in 1952. Named in honor of Alvin J. Wirtz, the first general counsel of the LCRA, Lake LBJ reflects a rich history of Texas. Initially known as Lake Granite Shoals, it underwent a significant transformation in 1965 when it was renamed to pay tribute to the beloved former U.S. President, Lyndon B. Johnson. With a shoreline stretching an impressive 200 miles and extending up to 21 miles in length, Lake LBJ promises an unforgettable experience for all who love the lake.
