​Explore the best Texas lakes for boating, jet skiing, and summer fun.

​Find top destinations, rental tips, and lake safety tips for your next water adventure.

🚤 Sun, Speed, and Splash: Welcome to Lake Season in Texas
When the Texas heat hits hard, there’s no better way to cool down than a lake day—or better yet, a lake weekend. Whether you’re craving fast-paced jet skiing or a laid-back boat ride, Texas offers some of the best inland water getaways in the country.

From Hill Country gems to East Texas reservoirs, here are the top lakes in Texas for boating and jet ski adventures—plus tips on where to launch, rent gear, and stay overnight.

🌊 1. Lake Travis (Near Austin)
Why It’s Great:
Spanning over 270 miles of shoreline, Lake Travis is one of the state’s most popular lakes for boaters and water sports lovers. You’ll find marinas, restaurants, party coves, and multiple boat rental companies—all within 30 minutes of downtown Austin.
Best For: Pontoon parties, speedboats, wakeboarding, jet ski rentals
Rental Options: Just For Fun, Float On Boat Rentals, Lake Travis Jet Ski
Local Tips: Head to Devils Cove for social boating, but arrive early—parking and dock space fill fast.

🏞️ 2. Lake LBJ (Horseshoe Bay Area)
Why It’s Great:
A constant-level lake (rare in Texas), Lake LBJ keeps its depth steady even in drought, making it ideal for boating all summer long. Its calm waters are perfect for tubing, jet skiing, and teaching kids how to water ski.
Best For: Multi-family trips, consistent water levels, calm wake
Rental Options: Splash Boat Rentals, LBJ Yacht Club
Stay: Explore Horseshoe Bay Resort or lakefront Airbnb cabins for family-friendly comfort.

🌅 3. Lake Buchanan (Burnet County)
Why It’s Great:
Known for its wide open water, waterfalls, and hidden coves, Lake Buchanan is less crowded than Lake Travis but just as beautiful. Ideal for fishing and scenic cruising.
Best For: Boaters seeking space and views, fishing, less congestion
Rental Options: Thunderbird Lodge, Captain Rob’s Jet Ski Rentals
Don’t Miss: A boat ride to Fall Creek Falls, accessible only by water.

🌄 4. Possum Kingdom Lake (Near Fort Worth)
Why It’s Great:
With its famous cliff-lined shores and clear water, PK Lake is a summer staple for North Texas thrill-seekers. You’ll see boats anchored beneath the cliffs, jet skis zipping by, and houseboats parked at lakeside campsites.
Best For: Cliffside views, watersports, close-to-DFW access
Rental Options: Possum Hollow Marina, The Breakers Marina
Note: Cliff jumping is common but can be dangerous—always follow posted safety guidelines.

🌳 5. Lake Conroe (North of Houston)
Why It’s Great:
Just 45 minutes from downtown Houston, Lake Conroe mixes upscale resort living with accessible public launch points and rentals. Expect busy weekends but smooth weekday cruising.
Best For: Day trips from Houston, upscale lake resorts, boat parties
Rental Options: Einstein’s Jet Ski Rental, Nauti Dayz Boat Rentals
Stay: Margaritaville Lake Resort is perfect for families or group trips.

🌿 6. Cedar Creek Lake (East Texas)
Why It’s Great:
Only about 90 minutes from Dallas, Cedar Creek is large but not overrun. Locals love it for peaceful boat rides, open water for tubing, and tucked-away waterfront cabins.
Best For: DFW weekenders, quiet coves, affordable lake rentals
Rental Options: Lone Star Jet Ski, Tri-Cove Marina
Tip: Book early for weekends—short-term rentals near Gun Barrel City fill fast.

🧭 Planning Tips Before You Launch
  • Boat License: In Texas, anyone born after September 1, 1993 must have a Boater Education Card to operate a boat or jet ski.
  • Life Jackets: Required by law for all passengers on PWC (jet skis) and boats under 26 feet.
  • Fuel Up Early: Many lakes only have a few gas docks, and they often close before sunset.

🛡️ Protect Yourself (and Your Watercraft)
Whether you're towing a jet ski to the lake or renting a pontoon, don’t forget about insurance:
  • Safeco and Progressive offer specialized boat and PWC policies, including theft, damage, and liability
  • If you're towing with your personal vehicle, ensure your auto policy covers trailer liability
  • Some homeowner’s policies may offer limited watercraft liability—but it’s often not enough for summer fun
Not sure if you’re fully covered? Talk to Corin Insurance before your next lake day.

🧳 Final ThoughtsTexas is home to some of the best inland water escapes in the U.S. Whether you want to ride the waves, soak up sunset views, or just cool off with your crew, there’s a Texas lake waiting for you.
​
Just remember: bring sunscreen, secure your gear, and always check local rules before you launch.
