Margaritaville Lake Resort

Relax At Margaritaville Lake Resort

No matter the time of year, relaxing lakeside is for certain at Margaritaville Lake Resort. The resort offers golf, a healing spa, a couple of restaurants to choose from, and fun on the lake. You don’t need to go anywhere else unless you want to. Almost everything at the resort is open to the public. However, if you are not a guest, you’ll want to get information on purchasing a Paradise Pass Day pass to enjoy the waterpark, mini-golf, arcade, tennis, and more fun.

LandShark Bar And Grill Restaurant

LandShark Bar & Grill is located at the Golf Club at the resort. The restaurant has a nice inside seating area, but if the weather is nice, you may want to opt for outside seating where the view of the lake is marvelous. The blackened Mahi fish tacos I had were fabulous, and my server recommended I have a margarita with my meal which I did! Not sure what I enjoyed more, the food, the drink or the view!

License To Chill Restaurant

Whenever I travel solo, I like to eat at the bar. I enjoyed a casual salmon and veggie dinner and got lots of information about Conroe from the bartender. It seems she is from the area and knew a lot. You can’t beat knowledge from a local.

St. Somewhere Spa

St. Somewhere Spa is a full-service spa located a nice walk from the hotel. After playing a round of golf, a great scenario could be to treat yourself to some self-care for yourself. I had no regrets signing up for that deep tissue massage – it was wonderful, and I left there feeling fantastic.

Play On Lake Conroe

Lake Conroe is a recreational lake with easy access to the water that visitors can enjoy year-round. All kinds of water sports such as kayaking, canoeing, jet-skiing, and boat rentals are offered on the lake. Picnic tables, fire pits, fishing piers, and a swimming area is also available.

Want to rent a boat? You can do that at Einstein’s Ship Store|Boat Rentals or any other outfitter that offers boat rental service. Boating is a big deal on this lake – whether boats are for fishing or water sports, it’s an outdoor activity that gets you out on the lake. Renting a tour guide is also an option. I spent a couple of hours on the water with Captain Mary from Einsteins. The weather was excellent, and the view was even better. Einstein’s is located in the Margaritaville Resort and is open to the public. Other boat and watercraft options to rent include runabouts, lagoon cruises, party barges, and this cutest yellow duck pedal boat.

Shop Downtown Conroe

Downtown Conroe is full of character and history, and the shopping is good too. I found a red hat, some home decor, and a colorful scarf at the cutest boutique in town. Plus, I met a friend at the Main Street Market boutique. As you’re walking around, check out the 13 art benches that colorfully show Conroe’s history.

Fass Brewing

If you like German beer and are still downtown, a stop at Fass Brewing is an excellent choice. I was able to taste beers I never thought existed. If coffee beer or chocolate beer is of interest to you, stop by to try it here. Ask the bartender how they make it – it’s pretty interesting. There are other breweries in Conroe to check out too.

Veteran’s Memorial Park

The Veteran’s Memorial Park is a beautiful dedication to the men and women who served in the war. It’s free to park and walk around. You’re close if you see the flags flying above from I45 on the east side. It could very well be a great history lesson for the kids. However, I learned a few things from the signs and statues.

Sam Houston National Park

One of the best things I happened upon while in Conroe was Sam Houston National Park; however, it was when I was driving home. Thank goodness I elected to take the backroads, as the directions led me through this beautiful national park. I didn’t have time to stop as I was on a schedule, but stopping will be mandatory next time to see more. As a native Texan, it’s somewhat embarrassing that I have never been there.

I realize now that the national forests in Texas are something to gawk over, and Sam Houston National Park is one of them. Beautiful natural scenery and many excellent trails for a day hike abound, so if you go, plan an entire day. If nothing else, a drive will be all you need (like me) to want to know what lies behind those tall, gorgeous trees. My motto now is to “always take the backroads.” The drive was much better than going on I45 any day!

Your Adventure Awaits in Conroe!
