Lake Texoma is still fulfilling most fishermen’s limits, even though the heat index is rising. I have heard the fishing is excellent, so be sure to try your hand at it for a relaxing time on the lake.
The local eateries are teaming up to prepare for the busy weekend ahead. Be sure to try our Anchor Inn restaurant near the Buncombe Creek Marina. They have a full menu with awesome food.
Jurassic Park has been a busy place for the last few weeks. Swimming, picnicking, fishing and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings is sure to satisfy anyone’s appetite.
An abundance of activities is scheduled for this July 4 weekend here in Buncombe Creek. They were listed a few weeks back but will give a brief description for those of you that want to venture out.
