Montgomery Travel Guide

With a meager population of under 1,000 people, rustic log cabins, and more animals than people, Montgomery is the definition of small town Texas. The city is quiet and peaceful, making it perfect for vacationers looking to get away from the busy city life, try out some new outdoor activities, and relax in a luxurious vacation home.

Things to Do in Montgomery

For guests who enjoy sunshine, fresh herbs, and lush gardens, a tour of Sunshine Farm should be the first thing on the itinerary. Then, those who are brave enough to shoulder the Texas heat can go fly boarding, paddle boarding, and cycle-boating on Lake Conroe, rent a boat from Nauti Dayz Boat Rentals, rent jet skis and other water equipment from Lake Conroe Water Sports. Alternatively, admire the botanical gardens and ornamental ponds of Memory Park, or hike any of the Lone Star Hiking Trails.

Visitors who prefer avoiding the heat can enjoy an afternoon at Deer Lake Lodge Resort and Spa, be inspired by touring the Art & Art Not Gallery, and fall in love with a new wine at Cork This! Winery.
