Dreaming... of lake days

JBSA Recreation Park at Canyon Lake

When someone thinks of spring break, two kinds of trips might come to mind. Maybe the perfect week-long getaway that centers around a quiet day in the shade, the sounds of nature floating on the soft breeze and a cool drink that hits the spot. Or maybe it’s a weekend filled with sounds of laughter that can lift the soul and sunshine glinting off water as blue as the sky. Days that feel like they should last a lifetime.

The Joint Base San Antonio Recreation Park at Canyon Lake can make both dreamy vacations a reality for DoD ID cardholders. This leisure destination encompasses approximately 400 acres. The property includes three beaches, a rental marina, a wet-storage marina, a general store, five different types of lodging options, and numerous tent and recreational vehicle campsites to fit a variety of party sizes and needs.

Located approximately one hour northeast of JBSA Lackland, Fort Sam Houston and Randolph, the recreation site can be visited by day guests or overnight guests with reservations. Reservations can also be made for watercraft rentals and special events such as Star Gazing and Dutch Oven Classes.
