West Texas has a unique beauty and personality all its own. The city of Lubbock and the surrounding areas in West Texas feature hidden oases that many outdoor enthusiasts may overlook. From primitive camping to adventurous water sports to challenging hikes through rocky canyons, lakes in and around Lubbock have exciting opportunities for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Meandering through a beautiful West Texas canyon, Buffalo Springs Lake has everything you could want for a weekend getaway full of outdoor adventure.
Start up the RV or pack your tents and experience camping in West Texas style. With 20 tent campsites and 34 full RV hookups, 89 partial hookups, and 17 tent camping spots available, Buffalo Springs has everything you need to make your stay at the lake an enjoyable one.
With picnic tables, plenty of trees for shade, and all the amenities to make you comfortable, camping has never been more fun. Buffalo Springs Lake is the perfect spot to get outside and reconnect with nature. With over 55 acres of habitat home to hundreds of wildlife species, the Buffalo Springs area has miles of hiking and biking trails to allow you to get out and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views.
If you crave a little more adventure, Buffalo Springs also has roughly 13 miles of off-roading terrain that features hard-packed chunky trails to smoother trails with light to moderate changes in elevation. Who says you have to live near the ocean to get to a beach? Buffalo Springs Lake has two sandy beaches that are included with the price of admission.
These are the perfect spots to lay out and get some sun, float around, or play games in the water without worrying about interfering with any watercraft. A day on the water can be fun for waterskiing, jet skiing, or relaxing with a fishing pole. No problem. Though Lubbock holds a reputation throughout Texas as a flatland city with no hills, the beautiful Dunbar Lake district is anything but flat.
