Welcome
Conroe is the perfect blend of starry nights and city
lights. The fastest growing city in Texas, Conroe has so much
to offer. The centerpiece of the city, Lake Conroe, is the perfect
place for rest and relaxation- or fun and exciting adventure.
Bordering the 22,000 acre lake is 156 miles of shoreline and 254.8
square miles of national forest.
In the forest you’ll find the longest continuous hiking
trail in the state of Texas, The Lone Star Hiking Trail. Adventure
awaits along the 96 miles of trail, and overflows into the
additional 32 miles of loop and crossover trails. Discover the
red-cockaded woodpecker in the W.G. Jones State Forest; it is
one of the few places left to spot this endangered bird.
If birding isn’t your thing, bring a picnic and enjoy the
Texas weather. Indulge your historian side with a visit to the
Heritage Museum, then head to the Lone Star Flag Park to view
the 13 battle and rally flags that have flown over Texas. The park
also features a bust dedicated to Dr. Charles B. Stewart, designer
of the flag, and a 14 foot statue known as The Texian.
Feeling hungry? Conroe offers amazing local culinary hot
spots and three craft breweries, a winery, and a distillery. Make
sure to try them all. Cap off the night with a stroll around
downtown. Discover the local artisans in the art galleries and
art benches that line downtown Conroe, and enjoy the sounds
of live music at several venues and be sure to mark your calendar
for our signature Conroe events
— they are worth the trip!
