If you love blue, the shore of Lake Whitney is the place to be. In springtime, millions of bluebonnets take over the landscape. Combine them with a view of the lake, and you've got a lot of blue.
Get out on the blue water and spend a day fishing, waterskiing, and exploring the lake. Cast your line and reel in your dinner, including three types of bass.
The lake also stocks a fair amount of...wait for it...blue catfish. Yep, blue. These blues also make you happy, because there are trophy catches in this lake.
Wilderness trails take you through a forest of hackberry, cedar elms, and oaks. Among the trees, you may find deer, bobcats, rabbits, armadillos, and other assorted mammals. Take a swim in the lake after your hike to cool off, especially on a hot summer's day.

The 12 sites at Blue Bird campground come equipped with water and electric hookups. Plus, nearly all the campsites sit close to the water’s edge. If you want to wake up to the sound of lapping water, steer clear of sites 97, 98, and 99 -- they’re landlocked. Read more...
