There are many amazing lakes in Texas, and Lake Buchanan is one of them. It’s located in central Texas and is a man-made reservoir created back in 1939 as a result of the construction of the Buchanan Dam. The lake spans a whopping 22,333 acres (9038 hectares) and it can be found about 60 miles (97 kilometers) from Austin. For those looking to escape the heat, Lake Buchanan makes the perfect getaway. Fishing is one of the most popular activities on the lake, with striped bass and catfish in abundance. Of course, there are plenty of other lake-based activities to enjoy, including boating and swimming. Plus there are parks dotted along the shores of the lake, so you can have a picnic or go for a walk. And the lake is a great place to bring your pet.
