What is the best lake in Texas?

[sybrmike]

When they have water, the hill country lakes are my favorites in Texas, but they're a haul & water levels haven't been consistent in years.

I'm another that grew up on Sommerville - usually put in at Rocky Creek and run the south shore depending on the wind. Still frequent it the most just because it's close and familiar. No Conroe for me unless it's during the week. The recent Moomba/Supra Jam introduced me to the Trinity river north of Livingston & it was great. Probably can't be beat for butter, but river boating is definitely different than the lake. Haven't decided between the two yet for this Saturday????

LBJ is the hill country setting similar to Travis but is constant level. never down or up it is on the Chain of lakes with Travis on the Colorado River. The south end of the lake is OK, this is where you will find Horshoe Bay Resort high priced condo's/houses and lots of open water. The north end of the lake is amazing basically a constant level river for miles all the way to Inks lake dam, you can't make it all the way to the dam but pretty close before you get into rapids flowing from the dam. Plenty of miles to find the "butter". It is constant level as it is used as the holding tank for the colorado river authority. Buchanon is drained to keep LBJ constant and Travis suffers to assure LBJ has enough water to provide for farmers along lower colorado river is the way i was told.

As some stated here Canyon is also top notch but all of these will cost me $300 in truck fuel just to get there and back.

Rivers are where it's at. Trinity river north of Lake Livingston to be exact. The Hwy 19 public launch is just 20 miles or so off of I45 outside of Huntsville. Once in the water you can go south towards the lake for 9 miles before you actually get into the lake or north up river for 14+ miles. Livingston is another "constant level lake" (we dropped about 4 feet due to drought last year) and once in the river you will see the dept stays between 25 and 50 ft. Just stay in the center 1/3 and enjoy seemingly endless glass!

This is where we had the 2012 Texas Moomba/Supra Jam, go check out the pictures for yourself!
