For a small lake town, Seven Points has a lot to do. It's home to Whatz-Up, a family fun park, and it sits on the west side of Cedar Creek Lake.
Here's what to do in and around Seven Points.
Whatz-Up Family Fun Park
Seven Points's best-known attraction is Whatz-Up Family Fun Park (700 E Cedar Creek Pkwy). It's a full fun park with go-karts, kiddie cars, bumper cars, laser tag, miniature golf, a rock-climbing wall, an arcade, a water park and a tunnel play place.
Hours vary by season and are posted on its online calendar. Check its current hours before you go.
Cedar Creek Lake
Seven Points sits on the west shore of Cedar Creek Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in Texas, putting boating, swimming, fishing, and endless miles of lakeshore right at hand. The lake is a year-round playground for water recreation, with public access points, marinas, and parks around its shores.
Fishing is a major draw: the lake's waters are filled with catfish, white bass, hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass, and crappie, making it a favorite for anglers. Whether you want a day on a boat, an afternoon swim, or a morning of fishing, the lake is the natural heart of recreation in Seven Points.
Around the Lake
Beyond its own attractions, Seven Points is part of the lively Cedar Creek Lake community, with more to do all around the water. Nearby Gun Barrel City — the lake's commercial hub — offers shopping, restaurants and bars. The Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake airshow flies over the water around the Fourth of July.
That means Seven Points residents have both their own standout fun park and lake access plus the full range of Cedar Creek Lake activities within a short drive. Between Whatz-Up, the lake, and the surrounding communities, there's no shortage of things to do.
