Directions

A quieter, less-discovered Travis County park on Lake Travis with a small sandy beach and excellent swimming in clear water. It draws a more local crowd than the bigger parks, making it a genuine insider pick for a relaxed afternoon on the lake. Facilities are minimal — bring your own food, water, and shade — but that simplicity is part of the appeal.
