Next above me is Inks Lake, and the largest above that, Lake Buchanan. It is from Buchanan that it is possible to travel the Colorado all the way to Colorado Bend State Park. | The lakes here in the Hill Country consist of the Colorado River sectioned off by a series of dams. Lake Marble Falls is below me, with Rio Vista situated on Lake LBJ, at the junction of the Colorado and Llano Rivers. My previous post travelling the Colorado was on this lake. |
Not far past Tow (pronouned like town without the n) is Fall Creek, presumably named for the waterfall as it flows into the river. A nearby rock formation sits watch over the falls, prompting me to nickname it "The Guardian". Looking closely, it also reminds me of the statue "The Thinker".
Lake Buchanan has several creeks and coves dotting the shoreline, making it easy for newbies on the water to be uncertain which will lead them home. There are cliffs near the road not far from Morgan Creek that are easily seen out on the water. These have become the marker we use to find our way back to Ponderosa Point.
