Enjoy the Fall Foliage at Lake Granbury




Mid-October is the beginning of the fall foliage season in Texas. This is the time of year when you see the most beautiful colors in the largest state of the continental U.S., and Lake Granbury is one of the spots where you’ll see some of the most incredible views.

The lake is located about an hour southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, which puts it about as close to where the West begins as you can get.

Lake Granbury has much to offer the serious recreational camper. With more than 100 miles of shoreline, the drives around the lake are gorgeous and scenic. Plus, there is a lot to do at Lake Granbury with more than 8,000 acres of water. Campers can fish, enjoy the lake on a boat, or hike the many awesome trails where you can get up close and personal with the fall foliage.

 

Fall Foliage in Texas is Diverse

The entire state of Texas is like an oil painting on canvas in the fall. The leaves change colors and fall from the trees, leaving a collage of reds, yellows, and a variety of colors on the ground like a royal carpet. Lake Granbury is just one of the state’s recreational areas where fall foliage is a heavenly delight.

The town of Granbury is a National Register of Historic Places. The courthouse square is famous for its beauty and historic importance. You can also take in live performances at the Granbury Opera House or enjoy a movie at the Brazos Drive-in movie theater. There is always something to do in and around Granbury, but especially at the lake.

No matter where you go in Texas, however, the fall season is the best because the weather is cooler and the foliage is beautiful, but Lake Granbury is one of the state’s finest features.

GOOD. Water stained; 83 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Lake Granbury cooled some this last week with all the rain and water flows. Lake level is at full pool and water temperatures are in the 80s. Most of the lake is settled out with some stained water on the upper ends. The best reports of fish are the white bass which are being caught all over the lake on slabs, spinnerbaits and trolled baits. Surface schooling action is common. Mixed in with the sand bass are some striped bass. Best striped bass action is on the lower ends on live bait or trolled jigs or crankbaits. Largemouth bass are abundant and are good to 7 pounds fished near creek entrances. Some good topwater action on feeding flats have been reported from in town to Indian Harbor to Decordova subdivision.
