When it comes to fun, most of it is outdoors and much of that is centered on 22,000-acre Lake Conroe. On any given day you can find hundreds of water lovers, boating, fishing and swimming. The lake’s accompanying 157 miles of shoreline provide plenty of opportunities for picnicking, hiking and leisurely rambling. After a day at the lake, many outdoor adventurers end their day with a glass of wine and sunset views at one of the fabulous lakeside eateries.
Hikers, bird watchers and all-around nature lovers can get their fix at Sam Houston National Forest and W. Goodrich Jones State Forest.
