Enjoy the Water

Lake Granbury is an ideal place to splash in the water and catch some rays. Bring your boat, jet ski, or just go for a swim. This lake is a water sports enthusiast’s dream. It is 33.5 miles long and has five boat ramps, two fishing piers, and four campsites. Best of all, it is only 45 minutes southwest from DFW.

Did you know Granbury has its own sandy beach? City Beach Park is located near the Historic Square and right next to the convention center and the Hilton Garden Inn. There is plenty to do at the beach! You can swim, picnic, play on the splash pad, build sandcastles, or play volleyball. You can also rent tubes, bikes, stand-up paddleboards, and kayaks during the summer from Beachside Toys and Takeout.

Scenic Views

Take a stroll along the gorgeous Moments-in-Time Hike and Bike Trail that climbs through the scenic views in Downtown Granbury just off the Square. If a nature trail is more your vibe, Acton Nature Center has an amazing hike with views of the beautiful Texas wildlife.
