-- Your Private Oasis on Lake Placid --
Guadalupe Lake Lodge features a breezy, 1-acre lot leading right down to our private lakefront. The perfect setting for family reunions, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, and micro-weddings. Step out of the lodge and enjoy direct water access from our private dock, ideal for lounging under the pecan trees or swinging your feet over the water.
-- Life on the Water --
The Lake is Back! As of Summer 2026, Lake Placid is once again open and a premier Texas destination for water sports. Because this stretch of the Guadalupe River is dammed, it forms a calm, constant-level lake offering plenty of space for wakeboarding, jet skiing, or a peaceful sunset cruise.
From sunrise to sunset, the water is your playground. We encourage you to bring your fishing poles (the fish are biting!), water toys, and life jackets. The calm waters make it the perfect spot for swimming or lounging right off the dock. For safety, we strongly recommend everyone wear a life jacket while in or near the water.
A Note on "Floating the River"
Because our water is dammed, you can float in a tube but you likely won't get far downstream. If your group is looking for the traditional Texas river tubing experience, the outfitters for the Comal and Guadalupe rivers in New Braunfels are an easy 15 to 20-minute drive away.
-- Watercraft & Rentals --
You can rent kayaks, paddle-boards, pontoons, and boats through Red Beard Rentals. They can deliver and pick up from our dock. While our boat lift is non-functional, you can easily tie up to the dock to access the house.
Convenience for Boat Owners:
* Public Boat Ramp: The Lake Placid Public Boat Ramp is located just five minutes away under the I10 overpass.
