LAKE CONROE

LAKE CONROE

Lake Conroe - (15 Minutes)

Many of our guests enjoy Lake Conroe amenities in the summer! 

Lake Conroe is a 21,000-acre lake in Montgomery County, Texas. The lake lies on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, just west of Interstate 45 off State Highway 105 in Montgomery and Walker counties. Lake Conroe is a popular attraction for boating, jet-skiing, and fishing.

  • Hit the lake – Rent a paddleboard, take out a boat or jet ski, get some quiet time with a day of fishing, or bring a group of friends and spend a day of fun in the sun on a cycle boat from Cascade Cycleboats.

  • Go Boating - The human-powered party boat features a 25-foot pontoon base and has 10 pedal stations that turn a large aluminum paddle wheel, plus a galley bar in the center to add to the party atmosphere. Those seeking romance can enjoy a sunset Lake Conroe Dinner Cruise. After all that fun on the lake, stroll shops and waterfront restaurants at Water Point Marina. Sam’s Boat is the perfect place to get fresh breezes, cold brews, and platters of fried shrimp and blackened fish.

  • Get outdoorsy at Sam Houston National Forest – One of four national forests in Texas, this massive 160,000-acre forest is spread over three counties (Montgomery, San Jacinto, and Walker), with over 47,000 acres in Montgomery County alone. It’s the perfect spot for fishing, bird, and wildlife watching, and biking and camping, but one of the highlights is the award-winning 128-mile Lone Star Hiking trail, which has been dubbed the hiker’s “Jewel of Texas.” It features more than a dozen access points and consists of three major sections, one of which is the 40-mile Lake Conroe portion, lying west of Lake Conroe and beginning near the intersection of FS 219 and FM 149.
