Golden Road


May 1, 2024

Golden Road is a scenic drive in the state of Texas that stretches for 20 miles, offering stunning views of the hill country, lush greenery, and tranquil lakes. The drive begins in the town of Burnet and winds through the countryside, passing through small towns and historic sites along the way.

Some good reasons to visit Golden Road include scenic drives, hiking, camping, and fishing. The area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts and offers plenty of opportunities to explore the natural beauty of Texas. Visitors can also explore the historic towns of Burnet and Marble Falls, which offer shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

Specific points of interest to see along the Golden Road include Inks Lake State Park, which features a 1,200-acre lake, hiking trails, and campsites. Visitors can also stop at the Longhorn Cavern State Park, which offers guided tours of the limestone caverns that were formed over millions of years.

Interesting facts about the area include the fact that the Highland Lakes region was created in the 1930s by damming the Colorado River, which resulted in a series of lakes that are now popular with boaters, anglers, and swimmers. The area is also home to a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, birds, and other animals.

The best time of year to visit Golden Road is in the spring and fall when the temperatures are mild, and the wildflowers are in bloom. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter can be chilly, and some parks and attractions may be closed during the off-season.
