Kingsland, there is a lot of water activity.   Lake LBJ is normally at a constant level which provides for the best water for boating, waterskiing, jet skiing, fishing and swimming.  From Kingsland you can boat up the Llano River, up the Colorado River several miles, and down Lake LBJ all the way to Horseshoe Bay, over 20 miles. </strong></p> <p align="left"><font size="3"><strong>Kingsland is an unincorporated town of about 3,500 people about 65 minutes northwest of Austin and 85 minutes north of San Antonio.  </strong></font></p> <p align="center"><img src="slab879c.jpg" width="288" height="216" alt="The Slab beach in Kingsland" border="2"><strong> <br> Sandy Beach at "The Slab"</strong></p> <p align="left"><strong>"The Slab" is a popular gathering point on the Llano River just upstream from Kingsland.  There is plenty of sand for sunbathing, picnics, games, etc.  The water is shallow and perfect for wading.  It is a great place to bring the children.</strong></p> <p align="center"><img src="swimming882c.jpg" width="288" height="216" alt="Swimming in the Llano River" border="2"><br> <strong>Swimming at a Neighborhood Park</strong></p> <p align="left"><strong>You will find plenty of places to stay in Kingsland.  There are rental cabins along the lake and rivers, waterfront condos for rent, lake houses for rent, motels, and waterfront RV parks.  </strong></p> <p align="left"><font size="3"><strong>Kingsland has restaurants and some shopping.  A lot of shopping is avalable in Marble Falls, only 12 miles away.  </strong></font></p> <p align="left"><strong>If you want to use a boat but do not have one, you can rent one in Kingsland.</strong></p> <p align="center"><img src="rodc.jpg" width="288" height="208" alt="Fishing from the dock" border="2"><br> <strong>Fishing from the Dock</strong></p> <p align="left"><strong>They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.  The photo above is the typical lifestyle in Kingsland, Texas.  Just sitting on the dock, having a nice conversation, and doing a little fishing.</strong></p> <p align="center"><img src="boatlift881c.jpg" width="288" height="216" alt="boatlift in Kingsland" border="2"></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p align="left"><font size="3"><strong>The homes in Kingsland along the Colorado River, the Llano River and Lake LBJ almost all have automatic boat lifts on the lake.  It is fun to boat up and down the lake and the rivers looking at the nice homes and boats along the shoreline.  You can also boat on down Lake LBJ to Highland Haven, Granite Shoals, Sunrise Beach, Blue Lake Estates and Horseshoe Bay looking at the homes and scenery.  </strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3"><strong>Once in a while you can spot a Bald Eagle soaring over the lake looking for a meal.  The sunsets are absolutely beautiful over Lake LBJ.</strong></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="center"><img src="boating889c.jpg" width="288" height="216" alt="Fishing on Lke LBJ" border="2"><br> <strong>Fishing on Lake LBJ</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Kingsland has a mixture of tourism and retirement.  Many people from Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas own weekend homes in the Highland Lakes area and come out to boat and fish when they can get the time.  Many of these people retire in the area.  Quite a few people from up north also retire in the Kingsland area to get away from the cold winters.  Llano County, where Kingsland in located,  is listed as one of the top three retirement areas in the U.S.</strong></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="center"><img src="marilyn.jpg" alt="Ron & Marilyn in Bluebonnets" border="2" width="252" height="148"><br> <font size="3"><strong>BLUEBONNETS</strong></font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>The photo above is a very common scene in the Kingsland area in April of each year.  People come from miles around to take pictures of their loved ones posing in the fields of beautiful bluebonnets.  Special tour buses even bring in tourists to photograph the flowers.</strong></font></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Until you have actually seen the fields of Bluebonnets in March, April and May around Kingsland, you can not imagine how beautiful they are.  No description or photo can do them justice.  In addition to the Bluebonnets every spring, there are also Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket, and several other flowers that literally cover the fields of the Highland Lakes.  It is truly a paradise every spring.</strong></font></p>
