This trail runs along the dam alongside lake. It is very beautiful with about a 1.7 mile trail. There are many walkers and runners. Good views of the hill country too.

Overlook Park is on a hilltop near the south end of Canyon Dam, it is open from 7 am until sunset. It was our favorite place to walk with a beautiful view of the lake on one side and a beautiful green landscape on the other. Restrooms and visitor parking are available. There are no camping or picnic area. The use of this park is free of charge.Many people walk with their dogs. It was a little windy in April, but what fresh air at this time of year. And what beautiful blooming fields with wildflowers all around, bluebonnet and how wonderful they smell!!

Trails are not marked and it can be challenging going down to the lake and back, climbing rocks. The path above the lake and dam is paved and wide so very nice for walking or running, out and back. Beautiful views! Plenty of parking!

We always come to walk and look over the lake from this site. Lake was down 21 feet. It is free. Great view.

Really nice area to visit and relax.We go there every few months. Love Canyon Lake.Watch out for the hawks if you have a small dog.
