Canyon of the Eagles Nature Park is located on LCRA-owned land along the shores of Lake Buchanan in Burnet County, about 75 miles northwest of Austin in the Central Texas Hill Country.
The park is operated by Presidian L.C. of San Antonio. Thousands of students, families and ecotourists have visited the park since its opening in fall 1999.

Roughly 800 of the park's 940 acres are a nature preserve that is home to a variety of wildlife, including three threatened or endangered birds: the American bald eagle, the black-capped vireo and golden-cheeked warbler.
Features: The park has multiple fishing docks and piers along three miles of lakefront, an outdoor amphitheater, a 64-unit lodge, swimming pool, restaurant, meeting rooms, campgrounds, RV sites, hiking trails and lights-out observatory area for stargazing.
