Best Place to Camp

Inks Lake

The perfect summer day trip, Inks Lake State Park is in Burnet County, about 90 minutes from Austin, and boasts the mighty Devil's Waterhole. Surrounded by pink granite, the constant-level lake allows for canoeing and has its own tour on the weekends, along with plenty of scenic hiking trails and a golf course. The primitive camping sites are highly recommended but require early reservations.
