What to Expect in November

Quiet and crisp — easy reservations, good fishing, and calm lake mornings.

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
• ✓22 cabins with A/C, ceiling fans, and two sets of twin bunk beds

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
