Cabins in Possum Kingdom Lake

Possum Kingdom Lake expands over a vast area, spreading over approximately 17,000 acres, which includes 310 miles of shoreline. The vicinity around the lakeside is a haven of peace and quiet, with plenty of space, perfect for a true getaway in the Deep South. Come and make the most of the famous southern hospitality and get to know the cabins around you, or just share a cozy log cabin between two in this breath-taking destination.

There are a large number of rental cabins, often with both a lake view and a private garden for your enjoyment. Many have balconies for relaxation, as well as permitting children and pets. Certain cabins are so close to the lakeside that they provide and/or encourage you to bring watercraft so you can make the most of the lake, whether a large, BBQ-loving family or a newlywed couple. What’s more, to feel like a true cowboy, many cabins have traditional Texan interiors!

A stay in a cabin here is an ideal break for a family, with a whole host of activities in the area to enjoy each day. For families with children, there are many ideal places to have a picnic and let them enjoy the natural surroundings. For a more educational experience, there are gardens to let them learn about the flora in the area, and in general the surroundings are a great opportunity for the little ones to learn about ecology and the environment. The history of the reservoir may also be of interest to the older members of the family, with the chance to nurture a potential interest in engineering through a visit to the Morris Sheppard Dam, which is the reason behind the existence of the reservoir.

Possum Kingdom Lake is a paradise for lovers of watersports. Among the activities available, apart from cooling off with a swim, discover the wildlife in one of Texas’ clearest lakes by going snorkeling or scuba diving. If seeing all those fish makes you hungry, you can also go fishing, and afterwards grill your catch of the day on the BBQ at your cabin! For those seeking more of an adrenaline rush, there are jet skis available for rent, as well as the possibility of going wakeboarding. Not such a water baby? Don’t fret! Lovers of volleyball will be able to enjoy playing on the sand, also giving them a chance to socialize with those in the other cabins nearby. What’s more, there are many opportunities for hiking and exploring everywhere in the area. For a more sports-orientated walk, golfing is also a highly-recommended activity here.

Make the most of this natural environment by exploring on foot. With an impressive number of trails, including along the Brazos River, Westside Park and trails reaching 350 feet above the lake, everyone will be satisfied, from beginners to the more experienced hikers in your group.
