Conroe is a mess for small boats. Way too many jetski's and big boats. I to was at that race and it was a mess!! I am just finishing up building a house on Lake Houston which is about 45min to an hour from Houston.We have been jetting there for about 5 years and love it. It had a bad reputation back in the 70's and for some reason a lot of people have not changed their minds. It is now a constant level lake and supplies drinking water to north Houston and to Katy. Property is going fast and rising in value at a tremendous pace.
