Lampasas balances small-town ease with Hill Country adventure, set in the heart of Lampasas County and roughly an hour from Austin. Weekends here often revolve around the water: the City of Lampasas maintains Hancock Springs, where Hancock Springs Park features a historic bathhouse and one of Texas’s oldest spring-fed pools, flowing at around 72 degrees year-round. Trails, disc golf, and shaded picnic spots make it easy to linger, while art lovers gravitate to the outdoor installations at Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden and the murals around the courthouse square.
Outdoor explorers can be on the river or trail in minutes. Day trips to Colorado Bend State Park bring kayaking, wild-cave tours, and the photogenic Gorman Falls, while Longhorn Cavern State Park adds underground geology to the itinerary. The calendar stays full too—July’s Spring Ho Festival gathers the community for parades, live music, and family-friendly fun.
Families appreciate the strong footing provided by the Lampasas Independent School District, known for hands-on Career & Technical Education, competitive athletics, and robust fine arts. Commuters value easy access to regional employers in Killeen, while downtown’s locally owned eateries, boutiques, and weekly markets make staying close to home appealing. Housing ranges from historic bungalows to newer builds, often on generous lots that welcome gardens, workshops, and backyard barbecues.
