One would never imagine so much activity packed into only two square miles of land mass, but Cottonwood Shores proves it can be done. The first thing you notice about the small community of friendly people is the beautiful scenery surrounding it and the access to the lakes. Access for Lake Marble Falls and Lake LBJ; both of which are favorites with locals and vacationers, can be found here. Along with the boat ramps there are boat and jet-ski rentals in the area to round out your day of fun on the water. A great day trip would be to invite family and friends, rent a pontoon boat, and glide along the waters of either of the constant level lakes.

A vast parks system complete with nature preserve ensures even those who would rather stay on dry land can have fun! Beautiful picnic areas on the bank sides are available if you’d just like to sit and watch all the water activity during the warmer months, and not far down the road you can even play a round of golf or Putt-Putt style at the Horseshoe Bay Resort.
