Why Conroe is growing
North of Houston, Conroe has a revived downtown, Lake Conroe's marinas and the Sam Houston National Forest next door. The guide below connects the town to nearby parks, signature stops, local food and golf so it can anchor a full weekend instead of a quick pass-through.
Rent a pontoon on Lake Conroe for a sunset cruise.
