Sandy Beach*

Mountain View Lakehouse is located on Llano Arm of Lake LBJ which is one of the largest normally constant level lakes in the country.  Constant level water provides the best conditions for boating, water-skiing, jet-skiing and swimming.  It has one of the rare sandy beaches that people love so much.

View of Packsaddle Mountain

Mountain View Lakehouse received its name because of the beautiful view of Packsaddle Mountain across the lake.  Packsaddle Mountain is well known for being the site of the last Indian battle in the area.

Packsaddle Mountain is also the starting point of the Paragliders and Hanggliders.  There is a ramp built just under the mountain ridge in plain view of the lake house porch.  It is always nice to watch them fly.

Across the water the vegetation is nice and  thick along the shore of the ranch across the lake.  

The deeper water is farther out with the main channel of the Llano Arm near the shore on the other side of the lake.  Boating, water-skiing and jet-skiing can be done farther out.

Bring your boat or personal watercraft and anchor it in the shallow water near the shore.  If you don't have a boat or jet ski, they can be rented locally.

There are several boat launches in Kingsland.
