Lake LBJ starts at Kingsland and goes all of the way to Horseshoe Bay, 45 miles northwest of Austin. The Highland Lakes consist of Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, Lake Travis and Lake Austin. A seventh lake, which is not considered a part of the Highland Lakes chain, is Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) in Austin.
