Inks Lake State Park Overview

Inks Lake State Park has almost 200 campsites and is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country near Burnet, Texas. Twenty-two cabins are also available to rent.

Set along the shores of the constant-level Inks Lake, the 1,200-acre park offers scenic waterfront views, rugged granite outcrops, wooded hills, and year-round opportunities for camping, boating, fishing, hiking, and swimming.
