Conroe

Picture perfect scenery and lake-filled activities abound north of Houston. Located less than an hour from Downtown Houston, Conroe’s serene community offers a quiet escape, protected by towering pine trees, rolling hills and a beautiful 22,000-acre lake.

Lake Conroe fishing

High catch rates and 156 miles of beautiful shoreline make Lake Conroe every bass fisherman's dream. With multiple guide services available there's no reason you shouldn't snag your own trophy bass. Other species include channel catfish, bluegills and crappie. 

If the fishing at Lake Conroe doesn’t lure you, there is plenty more to entice. Boat rentals range from bass boats, speedboats, and pontoons to party barges and yachts. Thirteen full-service marinas ensure you’re on the water as quickly and as safely as possible. For the more adventurous of heart, head over to Ayers Island towards the middle of the lake to drop anchor and partake in a picnic lunch while watching the day’s activities unfold before you on the water.

Conroe Flyboarding

Are you an adrenaline junkie? Try your hand at flyboarding. HydroRockets will have you propelling in and out of the water and doing acrobatics in the air in no time. For the fainter of heart maybe take your crew on a Dryft Cycle Boat which is a pontoon boat that has been equipped with 2 facing rows of 5 bicycles providing the horsepower for navigating Lake Conroe. The bikes are separated by an ice trough to ice down some incentivizing beverages and a stand-alone trolling motor to bring you back safely to shore in case you lose your giddy-up along the way.
