In the Highland Lakes of Central Texas

Lakefest Drag Boat Race

Lake Marble Falls is a hotspot for water sports lovers, offering glassy, calm waters that are ideal for activities like wakeboarding, waterskiing, and paddleboarding. The lake’s long, narrow shape makes it perfect for high-speed thrills, while still providing plenty of quiet nooks for leisurely kayaking and canoeing. Anglers are also drawn to the area, hoping to reel in bass and catfish from the lake’s well-stocked waters.

The city hosts several annual events centered around water sports, most notably the Lake Marble Falls Drag Boat Races. This high-octane spectacle draws crowds from across Texas, with boats reaching speeds over 250 mph. It’s one of the fastest shows on water and a marquee event that showcases the lake’s unique role in regional motorsport culture.

Lakeside Park, which sits on the shoreline, offers easy access to the water with boat ramps, fishing piers, and swim areas. It’s a great launch point for personal watercraft or a relaxing float. Families often spend the day picnicking between water activities, taking advantage of the shaded areas and scenic views across the lake.

For those wanting to explore more, outfitters in the Marble Falls area provide rentals for kayaks, paddleboards, and jet skis. Guided lake tours are also available, offering insight into the lake’s history and ecosystem while allowing visitors to enjoy a day of splashing, paddling, and soaking up the sun in the heart of Texas Hill Country.
