Belton Lake — Attraction in Belton

Awesome Huge lake west of Temple and Northwest of Belton. 136 miles to walk the entire shoreline! Lots of fish in this lake and tons of beautiful parks. RIP little Sparta, Texas - flooded along with Aiken, Bland, & Brookhaven to create the lake. But this area of Central Texas will be one of the last places to run out of water in the next hundred years. Never mind the bad reviews - there are literally hundreds of places to go on this lake.

The lake is worth a visit,...
