Take Full Advantage of Lake Conroe Living!

With so many fun outdoor experiences in and around the area, it’s easy to see why so many from across Texas and the country are relocating to Conroe to buy a new home.  One of the most prominent local outdoor attractions nearby is Lake Conroe.  Created in 1973 as an alternate water source for the city of Houston, it now contains over 22,000 acres of surface water and 157 miles of shoreline.  Plenty of room to have an awesome day on the lake!

Here’s just some of the great family-friendly activities you can do on Lake Conroe:

Go Fishing – Lake Conroe is a bass angler’s dream and has hosted numerous tournaments. Crappie is also plentiful, and the lake is a year-round hotspot for catfish.  For a month-by-month breakdown of what’s biting when (and where), check out this Visit Conroe Fishing Guide or LakeConroe.com’s directory of fishing resources.

Go Boating – With dozens of marinas around the lake, you won’t have any trouble finding the perfect boat to rent.  Pontoons, jet skis, wave runners, kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, stand-up paddle boats and more are available for your day on the lake.  Or if you wish to own your boating experience, a selection of new & pre-owned boats is available along with a variety of docking and storage options.  Lake Conroe’s Boating directory  or Einstein Surf & Boat shop can help you find all your boating needs.

Visit Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Resort – Touted as the “perfect blend of lake latitude and island attitude,” this resort boasts lakeside restaurants, golfing, and spa services, along with hundreds of suites and cottages that will make any parrot head of the tropics feel right at home.

Take a paddlewheel ship cruise – When in Conroe, you must have at least one dinner on the Southern Empress, a 131-foot paddlewheel that provides unforgettable evenings of dancing, dinner, and breathtaking views of sunsets on Lake Conroe.
