THE GREAT
OUTDOORS
Living The “Life ” In Conroe
Nothing says “Lake Life” better than the 22,000 acres
known as Lake Conroe! Jet skis, paddleboards or fishing poles
—the options are endless. Take adventure to a new height with
flyboarding or find a quiet piece of water and defy the record
for the largest largemouth bass. Channel catfish, bluegill and
black and white crappie are ready to test your skills as well.
Coming summer of 2020 to Lake Conroe is Margaritaville Lake
Resort. This scenic waterfront property combines luxury with
family friendly amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, a full
service spa, and a 3 acre lakefront water park that’s sure to bring
out the kid in you! Don’t have a boat? Don’t worry. Lake Conroe
offers a variety of guide services and water sport rental options.
Multiple marinas, complete with food, drinks, shops and marine
technical services, keep you full, fueled and back on the lake!
Make sure to save time for lakeside dining with delicious local
flavor. Boat cruise tours offer a monthly lunch cruise and threehour
dinner cruises with dining, drinks and dancing onboard
their three-story, 131’ paddle wheeler.
Boots, Birds, Butterf llies
Ready to walk? Grab your best hiking boots and head
out along the longest wilderness footpath in Texas. The Texas
Lone Star Trail twists and turns through 130 miles of deep
pines and hardwoods of the expansive Sam Houston National
Forest. Don’t forget your binoculars when you visit W. G. Jones
State Forest, one of the nation’s largest working urban forests,
recognized by American Bird Conservancy as one of the 500
most important areas in North America. The old growth pines
are home to the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Conroe
proudly participates in the National Wildlife Foundation’s
Mayors Monarch Pledge initiative, a mission to help restore the
Monarch’s natural food source, the milkweed plant.
