Cool Things To Do In Austin – Inks Lake State Park
Looking for cool things to do in Austin? Check out Inks Lake State Park. I just love state parks, they are well kept and beautiful and they usually offer all kinds of activities, like swimming, camping, hiking and fishing. Inks Lake State Park does not disappoint. They also offer scuba diving, boating and water skiing. Inks lake is not affected by droughts so water related activities are readily available.
Fishing
Inks Lake is noted for its picturesque scenery, but fishing can be good as well. It contains under-rated largemouth bass and Guadalupe bass populations, along with several species of sunfish (bream). White bass are regularly caught in the reservoir, and a low density white crappie population is present. Channel and flathead catfish occur throughout the reservoir. This park participates in the Angler Education “Tackle Loaner Program”; individuals can borrow rods, reels and tackle boxes with hooks, sinkers and bobbers.
Ranger Programs
Tours and guided activities include nature walks, geology hikes, fish seining, lakeshore ecology, Junior Ranger programs, and the Devil’s Waterhole Canoe Tour.
Rentals
The park rents paddle boats, canoes, 1-2 person kayaks, life vests and paddles.
