Inks Lake a Prime Spot for a Weekend

Though it’s one of the smallest of the Highland Lakes, Inks Lake goes big in many ways.

A run-of-the-river lake, Inks Lake covers 831 acres with a maximum depth of 60 feet. Its water fluctuates by about a foot a year. At 4.2 miles long and 3,000 feet wide, it’s the shortest of the first five lakes on the Colorado River chain of Highland Lakes.
