Hill Country gateway on Lake LBJ — the dining, shopping, and natural beauty hub for the Highland Lakes region.
Marble Falls sits at the gateway to the Highland Lakes on the Colorado River, serving as the commercial and culinary center for Burnet County and the surrounding Hill Country lake region. The city has developed a remarkably strong restaurant and retail scene relative to its population, driven by the tourist and vacation home traffic that flows through from Austin and Central Texas year-round. The Blue Bonnet Cafe has been a Texas institution since 1929. The local wineries and distilleries in the surrounding Hill Country have added to the area's appeal as a day-trip and weekend destination.
Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, and the surrounding Highland Lakes offer boating, fishing, water sports, and the Hill Country lake lifestyle that Central Texans have been enjoying for generations.
Marble Falls punches above its weight in dining — the Blue Bonnet Cafe's legendary pies, excellent local restaurants, and a growing wine and craft beverage scene make it a food destination.
The limestone terrain, live oak trees, wildflowers in spring, and views of the Highland Lakes give Marble Falls and Burnet County the Hill Country character that Central Texas residents drive hours to experience.
The Hill Country Wine Trail and surrounding distilleries make the Marble Falls area a genuine agri-tourism destination, drawing visitors from across Central Texas.
