If you can’t get enough small town charm, Hamilton Creek Park in Burnet, TX is another great Hill Country picnic place. A gorgeous green landscape along the banks of the creek, Hamilton Creek Park offers beautiful, clean picnic areas. Water fountains enhance the natural scenery, and add to the peaceful ambiance. After your picnic, enjoy a stroll along the park’s walkways and bridges, or head into downtown Burnet, where you can find several antique and gift shops. Visit www.Burnet-TX.com to find out more.

Canyon Lake, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, offers 80 miles of shoreline and numerous places to enjoy a picnic and spend some time outdoors. Surrounded by rolling hills and towering live oak trees, Canyon Lake is home to a plethora of wildlife and native bird species. If you are looking for a breathtaking panorama, Overlook Park on the eastern side of the lake is your best bet. Don’t forget your picnic blanket, as this park lacks tables, but more than makes up for it with lavish lake views and water access. Follow up your picnic at Overlook Park with a stroll across the dam. For more information visit canyonlakechamber.com.
