Make a splash on the second largest lake in Texas Marina Village Resort
T hirty-nine miles long and 7 miles across at its widest, Lake Livings- ton is not only the second largest in- land lake in Texas, it’s a colossal water- sports playground. At the reservoir’s northern end, Marina Village Resort welcomes Coast to Coast members to 70 acres on the shores of White Rock Basin, with access to all sorts of aquatic endeavors. The resort’s full-service marina, bait shop and boat launch make it easy to get out on the water in pursuit of trophy-size bass, crappie and catfish. You can try your luck on water skis or a water scooter, then make waves in the pair of swimming pools, the hot tub and the wading pool. There’s more fun to be had on solid ground, shooting baskets, tossing
horseshoes and playing shuffleboard, miniature golf and beach volleyball. Kids make new friends at the play- ground, and families gather at the community center for fun activities. From the gated security to the laundry room, country store and clean, climate-controlled restrooms, Marina Village is a safe and conve- nient vacation retreat. Hundreds of roomy campsites with paved pads and full hookups invite RVers to spend the night tucked beneath tall pines and hardwoods. Tent campers can plant stakes here too, just a stone’s throw from Lake Livingston. Beyond the resort gates, you can hike the 10-mile Phelps Trail in Sam Houston National Forest and play a round on the 18-hole golf course

at Westwood Shores Country Club, which grants admission to Marina Village guests. As the day comes to a close, pull out your camp chair and drink in the view of another breath- taking Lake Livingston sunset. Just 20 miles northeast of Hunts- ville and 90 miles from Houston, Marina Village is an easy-to-reach destination for East Texans and those traveling through the forested region known as the Piney Woods.
