Burnet County, known as the “Jewel of the Highland Lakes,” stretches across the beautiful chain of Colorado River lakes including Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, and Lake LBJ, making it a year-round destination for boating, fishing, and Hill Country living. Local dining favorites include Trailblazer Grille for homestyle Southern cooking and chicken fried steak, Mama’s Home Cooking for comfort food, and Hoover’s Valley Restaurant for classic Texas fare. The Burnet Central Appraisal District handles countywide property valuations, and the Burnet Chamber of Commerce at 309 E Polk Street promotes local businesses and events including the annual Burnet Bluebonnet Festival and Gold Rush Days. The Hill Country SWCD #534 provides soil and water conservation resources, and the City of Burnet along with the Burnet County government deliver municipal and county services across this rapidly growing region.
