Burnet Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Burnet!
Deep in Texas Hill County, surrounded by foothills, lakes and immense geological formations is the city of Burnet. It is located 48 mi (77.2 km) north of Austin, Texas, and is one mile (1.6 km) west of the division between the Brazos and Colorado river watersheds. The town, once called Hamilton, was designated at the seat of Texas Hill Country during its conception in 1851. It became Burnet in 1858. Today, Burnet's many attractions draw people into this laid-back blue bonnet country town. The Longhorn Cavern State Park, the Highland Lakes Air Museum, and the Delaware Springs Golf Course are among some of the more popular attractions offered by Burnet. Inks Lake and Lake Buchanan provide residents and visitors to the area with countless opportunities for outdoor adventure. The Canyon on the Eagles offers guests the opportunity to see the endangered American bald eagles while looking out from the Eagle Eye Observatory.Tourist Attractions
