Lakes, golf, and rolling terrain

Hideaway is primarily known as a destination for its lakes and golf. The Hide-A-Way Lake community was established in 1967 and covers just under 10 square miles. This gives you two distinct local features to consider when planning your trip: the landscape around the lakes and the golf facilities. How much importance you give each depends on what you are looking for in your stay.

Location for trip planning

Hideaway is located just off Interstate 20 and approximately halfway between Dallas and Shreveport. This location provides a regional point of reference if you are incorporating the area into a larger trip. The distance is approximate, so plan your specific route based on your own itinerary. You can then compare whether Hideaway works as a stopover or a destination in its own right with your local interests: lakes and scenery, golf, or both.

Lakes and scenery

The Hide-A-Way Lake community is arranged around 235 acres of lakes and has three spring-fed lakes. Hideaway Lake lies among stately oaks and tall pines; the terrain in Hideaway is hilly. Together, the water and terrain shape the character of the community and provide a distinct focus alongside golf. If you want to consider the scenery as well as an activity when planning your trip, the lakes are a specific feature that sets the area apart.

Golf, parks, and swimming

Golf facilities include a 27-hole golf course, a driving range managed by a PGA professional, and a golf shop. The course, range, and shop are different parts of the local golf offering. If golf is your main reason for traveling, check the current guest access options in advance. This will help you plan your trip around the options available to you before choosing your accommodation.

The community also has four parks. If you plan to visit them, check the visiting options for each in advance. Lifeguards are on duty at the Hideaway Pool during regular public swimming hours; swimming lessons are also offered. Pool hours and lesson availability may change, so check the latest information before planning a specific visit. If swimming is important to you, take both pool hours and lesson availability into account.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel plans

Hide-A-Way Lake has staffed access-control gates around the clock. If you are planning an overnight stay in Hideaway, check the access information for your specific accommodation in advance. When searching for a vacation rental, you can start with two questions: Does Hideaway fit your planned route, and which local feature matters most for your stay? This order connects regional orientation with choosing a destination without prescribing a particular itinerary.
