are two jewels in the chain of lakes known as the "Highland Lakes", tucked between the Bluebonnet Capital and the Deer Capital of Texas.
Lake Buchanan is big, wide, open, and uncrowded.  Boat launching is currently difficult with the current lake level of Lake Buchanan.  Burnet County Park ramp is usable to launch.  Llano County Park ramp is closed.  Contact local lodges and resorts for their current ramp conditions.            
Inks Lake is smaller, sheltered in a canyon and cozy.  Inks Lake launch is at Inks Lake State Park.​
