Marble Falls

Lake Marble Falls with waterfront hotel and restaurants.

The town of Marble Falls is located on Lake Marble Falls, is only 5 minutes from Lake LBJ, and is only about 45 miles from Austin.   Many residents work in Austin and commute to work from Marble Falls.  San Antonio is only 85 miles to the south for additional shopping and sight seeing.  It is a pleasant, scenic drive straight down Highway 281.

Waterfront Restaurants

Before the dam was built to form Lake Marble Falls on the Colorado River, there were falls of marble giving the name Marble Falls to the city.  The falls are now under water and only visible on those rare occasions when LCRA lowers the lake for repairs.

A fast growing town of 5,000, over 10,000 population in a 7 mile radius, Marble Falls is going through a period of prosperity and growth.  Because of the growth, there are not as many homes available for sale or rent in town right now.  Marble Falls is in a stage of development now that offers some of the best of the big city life without the disadvantages of the fast pace and traffic problems of Austin or San Antonio.  It is an interesting mixture of a rural lifestyle with big city conveniences only 45 minutes away.

Marble Falls Lakeside Park Marble Falls has two very nice parks.  One is on the creek and the other is on the shore of Lake Marble Falls. Both parks are large enough for reunions, events, or just having a lot of fun with friends and family.

Lakeside Park is the perfect place for a picnic while watching the boating activity on the lake and enjoying the gentle lake breezes.  Want to do a little swimming in the lake.  Here is the perfect place to do it.

Marble Falls Lakeside Park also has a great swimming pool, and tennis and basketball courts.  There is also a pavillion for events, a boat launch, covered picnic tables and plenty of room for spreading out on the lawn and enjoying the lake.

Marble Falls Athletic Club
