Marble Falls, Texas Travel Guide

Also see Burnet, Buchanan Dam, Kingsland, Lago Vista, Tow

Named for the ledges that formed a waterfall and a natural lake, today these falls are hidden in the depths beneath Lake Marble Falls and seen only when the water level drops.

You may not get to view the marble falls, but there's no way to miss the granite for which Marble Falls is famous. This glimmering stone is seen--and sold--throughout the town.

While you're at the lake, drive south on US 281 to the overlook at the edge of town for a terrific view of the 780-acre Lake Marble Falls. It's said that this sight inspired local songwriter Oscar J. Fox (who also penned "Home on the Range" and "Get Along Little Doggie") to write his popular tune "Hills of Home." Today a marker commemorates this local hero.
