Inks Lake was the second reservoir built on the Colorado River. It is llocated in the Highland Lakes chain (Buchanan, Inks, Wirtz, Starcke, Mansfield and Tom Miller on Lake Austin) surrounded by granite hills.

The dam was completed in 1938, a year after Buchanan, and is an interesting contrast to the immense project just upstream.

Inks Lake State Park Inks Lake State Park on the eastern shore is the second most popular state park in Texas. Visitors enjoy camping, backpacking, hiking, and golf. Since Inks is a constant level lake, droughts do not affect water-related activities such as lake swimming (unsupervised beach), boating, water skiing, scuba diving, and fishing.

For more information, call Lower Colorado River Authority, Reservoir Controlling Authority, (512) 473-3200 or 1(800) 776-5272.
