Guidebook for Owl Creek Resort
Local Eats & Treats
Although Owl Creek is located in a remote, private, wooded area, we are less than 20 miles from some of the best local offerings. Temple, Belton and Gatesville are just a hop, skip and a jump away. Here are a few of our favorite, locally owned haunts!
Dead Fish Grill hosts what locals easily coin as the BEST view in central Texas. Located directly on Lake Belton, overlooking beautiful Belton dam, the views are absolutely unbeatable.
Every night at sunset one lucky patron gets to fire the cannon signifying the beginning of the night! The outdoor seating is spectacular and the indoor seating is as gorgeous as the rest. With a huge fireplace, large bar area and panoramic views, it's a "must visit" for anyone excited to see our alluring lake.
If you're looking for an adventure, Miller Springs is just across the dam. See our recommendation for more information.
