RELAX

Once patrons check in, the possibilities for fun and relaxation are endless. Guests looking for adventures at any level can find something enjoyable during their visit. Perhaps it’s turning the pages of a good book while lounging under the trees, taking a boat out to catch that monster of a fish, or going for an early morning jog through the sand and catching sight of local deer eating their breakfast. Competitive spirits can also take advantage of the sand volleyball court or soccer field to remind their party of who’s got the best game.

Taking a break from activities, visitors can settle in at picnic tables for a simple barbecue using one of the available grills, roast a marshmallow, or relax in their air-conditioned lodging with a meal prepared in a full kitchen.

The staff continually strives to provide the best amenities they can for the local DoD community. In 2022, new bungalows, bunk houses and ski boats were added to the inventory. In 2023, they are getting four more fish/ski boats and five pontoon boats. Additionally, visitors can expect to see more cottages and possibly yurts along with updated roads and a renewed country store.

Winter weather is fading, so why not kick start spring with a visit to the JBSA Recreation Center at Canyon Lake. A new, dreamy adventure is waiting for you!

Eligibility:

Active-duty military, retirees and DoD civilian ID cardholders can have up to nine guests accompany them during their stay. Veterans with a Veteran Health Identification Card indicating “service connected” can have up to four guests accompany them after completing a vetting process at one of the JBSA visitor centers.
