Blanco

Blanco, Texas, serves as a peaceful gateway to the Highland Lakes region, a chain of beautiful, man-made reservoirs along the Colorado River. While Blanco itself isn’t directly on one of the lakes, it's just a short, scenic drive from popular spots like Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, and Inks Lake—each offering a wealth of recreational opportunities. Visitors often base themselves in Blanco to enjoy easy access to boating, fishing, and watersports in a quieter, less commercial setting.

Back in Blanco, water lovers can still enjoy the Blanco River at Blanco State Park, which offers a more relaxed experience with shallow swimming areas, tubing, and riverside picnicking. The park provides a peaceful contrast to the larger Highland Lakes while still capturing the area's natural beauty and outdoor appeal.

Thanks to its central location, Blanco is a prime home base for exploring the Highland Lakes while also enjoying the town’s charming amenities—local shops, live music, and Hill Country hospitality. Whether you’re an angler, a kayaker, or just in it for the lakefront sunsets, Blanco offers easy access to it all without the crowds.
