Booking Inks Lake State Park in March

Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a March trip, the booking window opens in October. Popular weekends can disappear within minutes of the window opening. If your dates are already full, check the booking system directly for cancellations, or book a cabin or vacation rental nearby.

What to Expect in March

Spring break packs Inks Lake — the swimming area and Devil's Waterhole fill, and cabins book out fast. Set an alert if your dates are gone.

Park Highlights

• ✓Constant lake level — swimming and boating year-round, even in drought
• ✓Devil's Waterhole — cliff jumping and swimming in a natural granite cove
• ✓Canoe, kayak, and paddleboard rentals right in the park
• ✓9-hole golf course inside the park
• ✓Pink granite shoreline for sunbathing and fishing
• ✓20 climate-controlled cabins with kitchenettes

Tips

• →Devil's Waterhole is the park's signature spot — get there early on weekends before it gets crowded
• →The lake stays full even during drought — a major advantage over other Highland Lakes parks
• →Bring a canoe or kayak (or rent one) — paddling the shoreline coves is the best way to experience the park
• →The 9-hole golf course is surprisingly fun and dirt cheap
• →Sites closer to the lake can be noisier on summer weekends — back loops are quieter
