Smithville blends small-town ease with big-sky scenery along the Colorado River, offering quick access to Bastrop, Austin, and the quiet roads of Bastrop County. Weekends often start on Main Street and end under the pines at Buescher State Park, where shaded trails, a peaceful lake, and CCC-era stonework make hiking, biking, and picnicking feel like second nature. For regional dining, antiques, and festivals, La Grange sits a scenic drive away, while the City of Smithville keeps daily services and park updates close at hand.
Families appreciate the scale and support of Smithville ISD, with competitive academics, Tigers athletics, and hands-on CTE paths. The Smithville Area Chamber of Commerce anchors a calendar full of community events, markets, and live music, and local history is on display through the Smithville Heritage Society. Kayakers favor easy river put-ins around town, and cyclists roll the Lost Pines routes that link the river valley to state-park overlooks.
Culture runs deep here: the town is recognized by the state’s Film Friendly Texas program, movies have rolled cameras on downtown blocks, and the record-setting gingerbread man celebration still brings smiles. Spring’s Smithville Jamboree and December’s lighted festivities showcase a place that shows up for its neighbors.
