Onalaska, Texas, located on a peninsula extending into Lake Livingston, 13 miles west of Livingston and 28 miles east of Huntsville on US Highway 190, is nestled in a very picturesque setting surrounded by Lake Livingston and the Piney Woods in all directions.
Located only 80 miles north of Houston, the Onalaska area offers wilderness and recreational activities that provide fun for all ages. The visitor or resident will find a great selection of campgrounds, RV parks, marinas, and golf courses. A new addition to the area is Livingston's 3rd Monday Trade Days - over 400 booths and two covered pavilions on 200 acres in a park-type atmosphere. All ages will enjoy a visit to the Alabama Coushatta Indian Reservation, and our new County Museum.
When Lake Livingston was completed in 1969, and with the coming of the water, new life sprang into the little town. Almost overnight Onalaska blossomed with new shops and businesses popping up everywhere.
The immediate area now has a population of approximately 4,000 permanent residents, with weekend visitors often pushing that number to 10,000 or more. The Onalaska area, because of its location at the heart of Lake Livingston, has become a popular vacation and retirement community, and despite its growth, still retains a village quality and country atmosphere.
The Onalaska area has many types of accommodations, including motels, camping, and RV parks, and with our mild winter climate, all cater to Winter Texans.
