The Getaway Capital of Texas
Located at the top of the Texas Hill Country, the official "Getaway Capital of Texas" is centered around the picturesque Lake Whitney area, nestled between Hill County to the east and Bosque County to the west.
Cabins, motels, rental cottages, full service resorts, and luxury B&B's are spread throughout the area. Many are lakeside or offer lakeviews, and others offer a serene rural setting.
Groups find the location perfect for their getaway. Corporate retreats, family reunions, and wedding parties take advantage of a wide variety of activities to make their event a success.
Lake Whitney, the area's most popular attraction, covers over 35 square miles with clear, blue water, to a maximum depth of 108 feet. Rugged white limestone cliffs border much of the lake, providing a dramatic backdrop to the crystal blue water. Picturesque coves, often with small waterfalls, offer pleasant surprises to boaters throughout the lake.
