About the Lake Conroe, Texas Area

LAKE CONROE
Lake Conroe, a 22,000-acre lake located only one hour north of downtown Houston, is the place where Houstonians go for week-end getaways, where many lucky families live and play, where businessmen enjoy first-class conference and recreational facilities, and where tourists travel to enjoy water sports, golf, tennis, great shopping and dining.
The lake is 21 miles long and 6 miles wide at the widest part with over 21,000 acres of surface water. It sports marinas, yachts, water skiing, jet skiing, fishing, golfing, swimming, picnicking on wooded shores, and general luxuriating in the fresh balmy air, and warm sunshine. The Galleria in Houston, The Woodlands Town Mall, Historic Montgomery antiques, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, and the Crighton Theatre complement Lake Conroe's recreational activities by bringing delightful entertainment, shopping, and dining opportunities to Lake Conroe's doorstep.
Lake Conroe is considered one of the most beautiful manmade lakes in the country. Pine woods in Sam Houston National Forest and the forested areas around the San Jacinto River basin surround the lake. Luxury hotels, condos, RV Parks and waterfront real estate developments nestle into the watery and wooded environment.
