Summer Activities: Things to do on Lake Conroe

Nothing says, “beat the heat” and “enjoy some summer fun” like a day at the lake. Here north of Houston, when you say, “a day at the lake,” you’re talking about Lake Conroe. It’s where Houstonians “in the know” will go to have fun in and around the water when the temperatures rise. It’s no stretch to say that there are hundreds of things to do on Lake Conroe year-round, but the lake is never better than on a hot summer day when you just want to cool off and have some fun with friends and family. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite things to do on Lake Conroe this summer!

With 22,000 acres of open water and more than 150 miles of shoreline, Lake Conroe offers outdoor enthusiasts just about everything they could want in a nearby recreation park: scenic views, cool water, and plenty of natural beauty. Pretty much every water sports opportunity you can imagine can be found on the lake, including fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, beaches to lounge on, and places to swim, to name a few. Lake Conroe also offers guides and boat rental options, in case you don’t own your own watercraft but would still like to get out on the water and catch a few trophy fish of your own.

Chambers Creek is even planning for a private Marina on Lake Conroe, one that will offer residents easy access to the water, complete with reserved boat slips and private docks just for our residents. It’ll be the perfect opportunity for residents of our 55+ active adult community to enjoy the cool water of Lake Conroe in whatever way they prefer, from teaching the grandkids how to waterski to landing the kind of catch they’ll be talking about for years to come.

Whether you’re planning to become a resident of Chambers Creek, or you just want to sample some of the best the region has to offer, be sure to spend some time on the water this summer. Boating enthusiasts will love the expansive lake and the beautiful sunset views, while those who can’t wait to cast in a line may already know that Lake Conroe is one of the best fishing destinations in the country. The lake is surrounded by beautiful green space, including Sam Houston National Forest, and it boasts two amazing spots for swimming access or just lounging on the beach. That’s not even getting into the numerous opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and other water sports.

That’s not all, either! If you’re a birder, you may be interested to know that Lake Conroe is at the convergence of the Central and Mississippi flyways, meaning that the area is home to hundreds of species of Texas birds throughout the year. If you come out for a stroll or to paddle around the lake, bring your binoculars and your camera, because you’re sure to spot more than a few.

While there are plenty of natural wonders to be found on the water and around it, you’ll also never be far from a delicious meal cooked at one of the finest restaurants in the area. It doesn’t matter what you have a taste for tonight, because just about any kind of dining is available, usually with outdoor seating that provides a romantic view of the sunset. You’ll find Italian, Mexican, seafood, pizza, steaks, burgers, Asian, barbecue, and even ice cream for dessert and a coffee shop if you need a little pick-me-up at the end of the day!

As you can see, there’s a long list of things to do on Lake Conroe, and we’ve just begun to scratch the surface. From fun in the sun to a relaxing day on the water to a nature stroll through the nearby Sam Houston National Forest, you’ll never run out of adventures. Once we finish up our brand-new marina on Lake Conroe, there’ll be even more for Chambers Creek residents to enjoy!
