Horseshoe Bay Name

Fable has it that when the LCRA dropped Lake LBJ about 31 feet to begin work on the power plant, the original founders of Horseshoe Bay Resort Norman and Wayne Hurd were laying out the master land plan for the new development. They ventured out into the middle of the dry lake bottom where Norman stumbled across a rusty horseshoe and picked it up. It was then, they decided this was a sign and settled the question of the name.
