    Lake LBJ & the Horseshoe Bay marinaOutdoor & Water ActivitiesAnchor

    Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake — the dams at either end hold it within a few inches all year, which is why the Highland Lakes have docks and the rest of Texas has mudflats by August. Rent a boat, swim off it, or paddle up into the granite coves. The water is clear and green and the hills come down to it.

    Nothing after this. You have been moving through Texas since Tulsa — the Alamo, the River Walk, the missions — and this is the first stop on the leg that exists to be sat still in. Find a dock facing west.
