Is Boerne lake open to the public?
Boerne lake is open to the general citizens of Boerne, Tx.
Due to the influx of people flocking to Texas, Boerne Lake admins usually will make you present your Texas Drivers License to verify you are indeed a Boerne Resident.
If you don’t happen to have a state drivers license that depicts you living in Boerne, you may not be allowed in.
This is to preserve the authenticity and integrity of the lake, and prevent over crowding from people living in San Antonio coming up to enjoy some water activities.
Can I swim at Boerne Lake?
Boerne City Lake is open to all residents of Boerne, and allows people visiting to enjoy non motorized activities out on the water.
The reason why no motorized activities are allowed, is because the lake serves as a reservoir for domestic purposes of the City of Boerne.
Having a lake dedicated for domestic purposes indicates that it is a protected area that needs to have as little contaminates as possible.
Despite not being able to have any motorized activity out on the lake, feel free to bring your paddle boards, kayaks, and other tubing devices and enjoy wading out on the lake in the middle of the Texas Hill Country!
Are there alligators in Boerne lake?

Despite this, there apparently have been reported sightings and catchings of some alligators that some suspect were dumped in nearby riverbeds.

Where is Boerne Lake located?
