Unspoiled natural beauty, an abundance of recreational activities and a convenient location near several major cities — just 90 minutes south of the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex and 2.5 hours north of Austin — are part of what makes Lake Whitney a top Texas destination. The jewel of both Bosque and Hill counties, Lake Whitney is 35 square miles of crystal-clear water, providing a cherished destination for boating, fishing and watersports. The lake’s 225 miles of shoreline and acres of parkland offer ideal settings for swimming, picnicking, wildlife viewing, golfing, camping, horseback riding and more.
