A part of the Lone Star State’s famous Hill County region, Paradise Resort is situated on the shores of gorgeous Lake Buchanan, one of the six lakes in the Texas Highland Lakes area. If you’re lucky, you might spy a bald eagle soaring across the water, as several pairs have been known to nest nearby.
