Hill Country Lakeside City
Welcome to Cottonwood Shores, the "City on Two Lakes" between Lake LBJ and Lake Marble Falls, a small Burnet County community minutes from Marble Falls.
Cottonwood Shores is a small city in southwestern Burnet County, Texas, set on the south bank of the Colorado River in the Hill Country, just below the outlet of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson and near Lake Marble Falls. That position between two reservoirs gives the city its nickname, the "City on Two Lakes," and defines its character as a lakeside residential community. The area appeared on county maps by the early 1970s as a residential development along the river, and it has grown into an incorporated city with its own police department, volunteer fire department, and community institutions. The lakes are the heart of local life. Residents enjoy boating, fishing, jet skiing, and waterfront living, with a yacht club and marina serving the community and the broader lake area. The Hill Country Community Theatre and a handful of nearby restaurants add a modest cultural and dining presence, while Marble Falls, about a mile and a half to the northeast, provides the nearest full range of shopping, healthcare, and services. The city's population is about 1,400, and it is served by the Marble Falls Independent School District, a district that covers a large portion of western Burnet County including Marble Falls, Meadowlakes, and Granite Shoals. Austin lies roughly 50 miles to the southeast, making Cottonwood Shores a practical lakeside home base within reach of a major Texas city. Cottonwood Shores suits people seeking a small Hill Country lake community — direct water access, lakeside views, and a quiet residential pace — with the conveniences of Marble Falls minutes away and the employment and amenities of Austin within commuting range.
