Real People. Real Places. Real Fun.Conroe is just the right blend of starry nights and city lights. Nestled in the lush Piney Woods of East Texas, the city embraces you with genuine Texas friendly hospitality. Small town appeal and big city attractions make Conroe a favorite destination for family fun, travelling professionals and romantic escapes.

The centerpiece of the area, beautiful Lake Conroe, provides 22,000 acres of relaxation and fun. Launch your boat from a public boat ramp or visit marinas along the shore for watercraft rentals. Bring your fishing poles for some of the best bass fishing in Texas.

The Piney Woods are perfect for outdoor activities. W. Goodrich Jones State Forest and Sam Houston National Forest offer miles of camping, fishing, hiking, biking, bird watching and horseback riding.

Nothing is more fun than gathering with friends for live entertainment. Downtown Conroe boasts two historic theatres with performances throughout the year and an outdoor amphitheatre with free concerts April-September. Singer/songwriters and up and coming artists are featured at these and other local venues, festivals and events.
