Villages Resort at Lake Palestine is situated among the sparkling shores of Lake Palestine, one of the largest and most beautiful water-sports playgrounds in the Southwest. The lake's 100 miles of shoreline and miles of waterways offer an unending selection of water-oriented activities. Watercraft rentals, boat slips and launch ramps are available at the marina. For those who prefer land activities, miniature golf, horseback riding, tennis, basketball, archery, and volleyball are available.

The Villages opened in January 2008 and is located at The Villages Resort – a family playground and Texas vacation destination on nearly 3,000 acres of piney woods on Lake Palestine. The newest indoor water park in Texas is also one of the largest, with 25,000 square feet of fun for the entire family. Our 19,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed recreational area is climate controlled and features a retractable roof for outdoor summer excitement.

Nearby Tyler, the rose capital of Texas, is home to the Caldwell Zoo and Tyler's Municipal Rose Garden.
