Canyon Lake is a lovely place to enjoy some time away from the bustle of everyday life. See if any water activities are available here, or just soak up the serene ambiance. This body of water is free to visit, so you can have a great time without spending a thing. However, Canyon Lake isn't the only place to visit in and around the leafy town of Canyon Lake. With Guadalupe River, Whitewater Amphitheatre and Overlook Park not too far away, you may be tempted to stay a little longer.
