Burnet County’s Highlands Lakes Region is less than an hour’s drive from the urban buzz of Austin, Texas but it’s a world apart.

Hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and camping are popular pastimes in Burnet County.

Join correspondent Tom Wilmer at the newly renovated Painted Sky Inn, situated on the shores of Lake Buchanan, for a visit with innkeeper Denise Lewis and her friend Craig Harris.
