WINTER is a great time to visit Lakeside Lodge. It becomes a birder’s paradise with the arrival of the Bald Eagles, Golden-cheeked Warblers, and the Black-capped Vireo. The shorebirds are here also. White Pelicans, Great Blue Heron, Seagulls, Osprey, and many more species. A 2-½ hour scenic river cruise is just 3 miles away. Cruise times vary. www.vtrc.com
Fishing is at its finest October through March. Bring your own boat, or charter a professional Stripper Guide. www.visitburnetcounty.org ~ Where to play.
The Holiday Season is a special time in the Hill Country. The Marble Falls Walk of Lights, The Town of Bethlehem in Burnet, and Fort Croghan Pioneer Christmas should not be missed.

SPRING brings the Bluebonnets and spectacular wildflowers. Burnet is the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas and host to many Spring Festivals. The famous Bluebonnet Festival in Burnet is held annually on the 2nd full weekend in April. www.visitburnetcounty.org or www.burnetchamber.org

SUMMER means the heat is on and Lakeside Lodge is cool. Swim in big beautiful Lake Buchanan or just sit in the shade on our grand patio and dock and enjoy the summer breezes off the lake. Weather permitting the Vanishing Texas River Cruise offers a 2 ½ hour dinner cruise on Saturday evening in addition to its regular daily boat rides. The Vanishing Texas River Cruise also has kayak rentals. www.vtrc.com

FALL brings cooler weather for hiking, more birding, the Monarch Butterflies and the subtle changes of the Hill Country foliage. Fall is a perfect time of year for riding motorcycles through the Hill Country.

YEAR ROUND ATTRACTIONS: THE Eagle Eye Observatory located at the 940 acre Canyon of the Eagles Nature Park.
