Learning North Lake Livingston: Carter Cove

The name of this cove changes depending on who you are talking too. Some of the old timer’s still call it Barbara’s Cove because Barbara loved to fish this cove. Most of us call it Carter Cove because the Carter’s live up on a bluff that overlooks the cove.

You can be parked at the sand bar and they may hollar down at you -- come on up!!

The cove is located west of Thomas Lake and the homes that front Carter Cove are located in Carolina Cove, Greenrich Shores and Sterling Island.

Carolina Cove is a homes only subdivision. No mobile homes are allowed. The subdivision has two boat launches (one of which is pictured above). The main boat launch is located on Lakeshore on the east side of Thomas Lake Road.

Nestled in the middle of Carolina Cove is Cove Marina which is a small marina and campground. They are family friendly and always have a pot of coffee on. Besides bait, you can pick up a map of Lake Livingston, groceries, or treat the kids to an ice cream. Cove Marina is the local one stop shop!

If you have a home to sell or are looking for that perfect lake house to buy, give me a call!

It’s easy to sell what you love, and I love where I live.

Joni,

These are great posts. I'm feeling just a little envious of your climate right now.

There is a lot more to Riverside TX and Lake Livingston than I realized! I'd love to visit y'all sometime. (And stop by to see Susan Bryant while I'm in the area.)

Enjoy this beautiful Texas weather today!

You make me want to pack my bags and head to see these lakes in person.  Awesome photography as always.

Hi Joni! I've been shoveling out of the snow so much, I've been out of the Rain...but it's nice to see some landscapes that aren't gray and white! This cove looks absolutely lovely and sounds very inviting! Great photo!

Joni--I am getting a geography lesson!  I should have realized you have lots of bodies of water, but I guess I just never thought about it.  Very pretty pictures.  Tired of the snow here and feeling a little jealous!
