Lake-Marble-Falls
is one of the lakes in the Highland Lakes chain of lakes of central Texas. It lies south of Lake Lyndon B Johnson about 47 miles northwest of Austin. The city of Marble Falls is located on the shores of Lake Marble Falls and has a population of approximately 6,077 residents. Prior to the damming of the Colorado River in 1951 to form Lake Marble Falls, there were actual marble falls, which gave the town its' name. When the dam was completed, the marble falls were submerged under the new lake (Lake Marble Falls.) At 611 acres, Lake Marble Falls is the second smallest in the Texas Highland Lakes chain, behind Lady Bird Lake. It's been stocked with largemouth bass, catfish, sunfish, and is known for being in the "top 50" for record striped bass in the state of Texas. Boating is also popular at Lake Marble Falls and other activities include hiking, swimming and picnicking. The town and lake are also both well-known for the annual Lake Marble Falls Lakefest drag boat races. The town of Marble Falls offers unique shops, good restaurants, a farmers market, theater and a great place to relax, far from the hustle and bustle of city life.
