The Lake Conroe Experience
Lake Conroe is one of Texas’ premier freshwater lakes — 21,400 acres of open water surrounded by golf courses, marinas, restaurants, and nature preserves. From April through October, the lake buzzes with boating, jet skiing, fishing, and lakeside dining.
Even in the off-season, the Conroe/Willis area offers hiking in Sam Houston National Forest, a growing downtown Conroe food scene, and the quiet relaxation of a lakeside retreat.
