About Devil's Waterhole
Devil's Waterhole is the named swimming area inside Inks Lake State Park. Texas Parks and Wildlife identifies it as a swimming-hole draw, which makes it a real and appropriate anchor for the Burnet batch.
The geography is the point: this is Highland Lakes country, with granite edges and lake water instead of a spring-fed city pool or float river.

Use Burnet for the cleanest town base. Use Buchanan Dam if the trip is more lake-focused. Use Marble Falls only when you need a larger hotel and dining base.
