Bluffton balances Hill Country quiet with big-lake adventure. Set along the western reaches of Lake Buchanan, residents spend weekends chasing striped bass, paddling glassy coves, and watching sunsets flare across the water. Easy access to Lake Buchanan and shoreline fun at Black Rock Park keep outdoor plans simple, while trails and swimming holes at Inks Lake State Park are a short scenic drive away. For starry skies, raptor sightings, and miles of lakeside trails, locals frequent Canyon of the Eagles for day trips and special-occasion dinners with sweeping lake views.
History runs deep here. In the 1930s, the original town was moved to higher ground when Buchanan Dam filled the reservoir; during droughts, foundations from Old Bluffton can reappear, offering an evocative look at the community’s past. Today’s Bluffton keeps that heritage alive with small-town neighborliness and a pace designed for front-porch mornings and boat-launch afternoons.
