Best Family Activities in Inks Lake State Park

After walking in the Texas sun for a few hours, you and your family will be glad to find some respite in other activities, when you stay at Inks Lake State Park cabins.

  • 1. Swimming

    A large portion of the lake is set aside just for swimming (therefore, no boating in this spot), ideal if you've got younger children.

  • 2. Boating

    Speaking of which, take a boat out onto the lake and see the park from a new angle. Why not try water skiing while you're at it, too? Rent boats and equipment at the park's store.

    Catfish, sunfish, and bass can be fished from the lake's two piers, or head out from the boat ramp and you'll be able to fish from the middle of the lake.

    As well as renting equipment, the on-site store sells souvenirs and food, ideal if you're staying in nearby Inks Lake State Park cabins. Pick up supplies and then head to the picnic pavilion for a shaded outdoor meal.

  • 5. Geocaching

    This fun activity is a great interactive way to make hikes more engaging, especially for kids who may need that extra bit of encouragement with some treasure hunting.
