Trees:

Parts of Bastrop County is covered by a belt of Loblolly Pine trees. This species of Pine tree is unique as a forest to Bastrop County in Texas, with Georgia/Alabama said to be the closest areas having the Loblolly pines otherwise. There are, of course, a wealth of pines in East Texas but they are a different species and separated by about a hundred miles of sand and post oak country.

Weather:

Lake Thunderbird residents are fortunate to enjoy about 30-35 inches of rainfall per year, measurable snowfall once in a blue moon (every 20 years or so) and the most wonderful fall and spring seasons one can ask for. Yes, the summers are hot. Daytime summers range up around 95 degrees with the days cooling down into the mid to upper 80's. Winters are relatively milder.. Freezing weather is the oddity rather than typical. Many outdoor activities can be carried on throughout most of the winter months. Aside from the summer, the weather is generally mild for the rest of the year.
