So if you’re looking to unplug, explore nature, and spend meaningful time with family or friends, this is the place. Nestled along the Brazos River and just a stone’s throw from Lake Whitney, our resort blends scenic beauty with outdoor adventure. Whether you’re fishing from our boat dock, hiking along our trails, or paddling through calm river waters, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the Texas outdoors.

A Nature Lover’s Escape in Central Texas
Kopperl may be a small dot on the map, but it’s big on natural beauty. Surrounded by rolling hills, limestone cliffs, and the winding Brazos River, our resort sits at the heart of one of the most scenic regions in Central Texas. We regularly welcome guests from Dallas/Fort Worth, Waco, and all over North Texas who come here to get away from busy city life and enjoy wide-open skies, fresh air, and water as smooth as glass.
If you’re the kind of traveler who prefers hiking boots over hotel slippers, you’ll feel right at home. Indian Lodge Resort is proud to be an outdoor adventure resort in Kopperl, TX — a destination designed for exploration, relaxation, and lasting memories.
Experience All ThatLake Whitney Has to Offer
Lake Whitney and the Brazos River are two of the premier fishing and boating destinations in all of Texas — and we’re right in the middle of it! Our waterfront location offers guests access to a private boat dock and fishing area, ideal for casting a line in the morning or winding down as the sun sets. So whether you’re hoping to catch bass, catfish, or crappie, you’ll find plenty of opportunities right here or just a short ride away on Lake Whitney.
But fishing isn’t the only reason people love the water here. Lake Whitney is also one of Texas’ best recreational lakes, and it’s a favorite for boating, water skiing, wake-boarding, tubing, or just cruising with friends and family. The calm, scenic waters of the Brazos make it just as inviting for beginners as it is for seasoned boating enthusiasts — and yes, kids and families are always welcome to join the fun.
Don’t have your own boat? No worries. We offer canoe and kayak rentals so you can get out on the water and take in the scenery at your own pace.
Hike and Explore Central Texas Landscapes
For guests who prefer to stay on dry land, our scenic hiking trails offer something for everyone. Trails vary in length and difficulty, winding through native brush, shaded groves, and open stretches with sweeping views of the Brazos River valley. Wildlife sightings are common, and if you’re lucky, you may spot a whitetail deer, wild turkey, or one of the many species of birds that call this area home.
These trails are a great fit for families with children, couples looking for a peaceful morning walk, or seasoned hikers interested in exploring Texas terrain. The changing colors of the seasons, especially in spring and fall, make every visit feel new.
Guided Nature Tours for Curious Minds
We believe that adventure is even better when it’s paired with learning. That’s why we offer guided tours that explore the local flora, fauna, and natural history of the region. These walks are led by experienced naturalists who know the land well — and who are eager to share their knowledge in a fun, hands-on way.
Whether you’re a lifelong nature enthusiast or a curious first-timer, our tours offer a deeper connection to the land and the life it supports. It’s a wonderful experience for families, school groups, or anyone who enjoys learning while exploring.
