Hey there ! So wonderful hidden spot in Austin, here you can enjoy the lake, sun and amazing nature, don’t forget use a sunscreen! (At least 50) water all summer and autumn just perfect for swimming, not cold ! But be prepared, reach the water not easy) sometimes it dangerous. Stay alert! Not Harry.

Hidden gem in ATX: bring your water shoes or at least some sneakers because you will be hiking through large rocks! Tread light and bring only a couple of essentials; you will have to carry it down hill and then uphill. Expect tons of sun and not a lot of shade bring SPF. Pet friendly and crystal blue water! Ideal for the sunset and safe swimming areas marked on the water.

Very cool place to spend the day lounging in the rocks, doesnt have a beach.

Awesome hike down the large boulders! You end up at the edge of the clear water lake. Swim at your own risk! The boats passing by cause the waves to crash against the rocks and push you against them. Its a beautiful view across the water.

This place is such a natural beauty, please stop leaving your trash here. Theres a bin at the entrance be a decent human being and take it up with you

Went early on a Saturday and found plenty of parking. The county does not seem to be staffing the park during the current pandemic, so free admission. The trail was in poor shape, so do recommend hiking shoes or boots rather than Tevas and forget about coming in flip flops. Very steep decent to the water, more like scaling a cliff than walking. Lots of zebra mussels on the rocks, be careful getting in and out of the water. The trail at the far end of the parking lot is better and has better places by the water to lay out.

Excellent fishing area but dont go inside the red floatation devices. Thats the diver area

This park has a very good boat launch. The problem is that once you launch your boat you can only leave your boat at the pier for 15 min at a time. Dont plan on being able to beach your boat while you picnic because the shoreline is rock. There is a designated swimming area where boats are blocked for entering. The water is very clear, and beautiful.

Austins Best Kept Secret Spot for Swimming on Lake Travis

Such a calm place but you need to use your leg and muscle to find your way through the trees

Definitely hard to get around on the big rocks, but its the first time Ive been swimming in months, great to get in Lake Travis!

Very nice and quiet place.I am visiting from out of state and ended up here and Im very glad I did.Nice hike down some steps and rocks to the water.The hike might not be for everybody, but if you like a bit of a challenge and adventure I definitely recommend it!The trails were nice and the water was absolutely beautiful!The water felt great on the day I was here, and also somehow I did not see another person there except for the occasional boater.Great view of Lake Travis!Im very happy I got to visit this place on my first trip to Texas!

If you like hiking and exploring cool lakes then this is one of the best places for you

Nice place...clean and nice people go there

The hiking was steep but very cool. The drive to the park was beautiful.

Beautiful views, fun park for adventurous & athletic people, not so much for young children & I wouldnt even bring dogs here unless you keep them off the dangerous big rocks & stay on the trail, very rocky, no developments or comfy/smooth walkways, just primitive & beautiful nature, nice swimming areas, great exercise climbing over big rocks. Climb down a rocky cliff to reach lake & swim. Bring solid hiking shoes will tear up sandles, a backpack to keep both hands free for climbing. Not the quietest, lots of noisy motor boaters from neighborhood, & playing music loud.Gov needs to put a ban on noisy & smelly & polluting motorcraft,water would be far cleaner & prettier & healthier for people & wildlife.Less noise pollution & overall better.Still very pretty, great place to suntan, rock climb, walk around, & swim!

Great place to watch the sunset

This place is absolutely beautiful you get the Oasis sunset from Lake level

Great place to snorkle!

Beautiful place to view the lake or take a dip in the water. Not so good for hiking

Convenient little area to get to the lake for free

Not a place for kids, elderly or out of shape ppl. U have to navigate STEEP inclines and rocks

Beautiful place, though the trails are steep and the rocks at the shoreline are huge - would be nice if they could add stairs and smaller rocks for a beach! Also there was some old trash amongst the rocks, and theres a fee of $10/vehicle.

Beautiful! But it’s really hard to climb down and around the sheer cliffs! Be careful and wear good shoes! When I went in September the water was nice and warm at the surface!

Beautiful park!

Rugged trails but the view is worth it. Bring your hiking shoes!

Beautiful and peaceful spot

Beautiful views of Lake Travis

Beautiful spot!

WEAR SWIM SHOES! ROCK climbing is a must to get to the water!!

Nice little walk down by the river, but I do mean little. Really nice views, but the walk was very short although there was some quite some climbing at points required. Peaceful little getaway, never see other people here while I was here. Also the drive here was extremely beautiful and probably my favorite part of the whole thing!

Do not bring kids here!! Make sure youre wearing good footwear and are able to climb up and down big rocks!! Once you get to the water, its beautiful and you get a sprawling view of lake travis!! Make sure you watch out for zebra mussels!!

Pretty nice place. As others said, bring shoes to walk down in, flip flops will flip your flop! Lots of wake surfing to watch- super cool!

Closed. Because nature isnt a place where social distancing works.

Quiet and quaint all in one

Amazing view!

Nice for swimming but the parking lot is up on a cliff far above the water. No boating from here.

Awsome

Beautiful setting for great pictures

Awesome sauce

Beautiful. Go explore

Not really a park, more of a workout lol. Nice area though.

Awesome spot! Bring the kids and the wife!

Nice tiny county park with good access to the water of Lake Travis. Long and winding road to get to. No boat dock. Small parking lot for 20 cars or so? Swimming area. Closed at dusk.

Dont come here it sucks!

A great place for mountain climbers not so good for older people wear clothes as you will get cuts and scraped on the rocks getting up and down the ledges!

Pretty, scenic park on the lake with nice views-not for novice swimmers or small children. I recommend footwear with a good tread and a life jacket for swimmers.

Great views of the lake

Great place to swim but hard to get to the water.

Not worth the drive down Tom Hughes park

Awesome views definitely coming back soon!

Beautiful park along Lake Travis. The path to the water is rugged so bring some decent shoes!

It ok not a place for swimming

They dont have a family swimming area only for scuba divers

Hidden park off a windy road. No real beach front to speak of but at least it will give you access to the water.

SA VAPORS was here for a bit.

Great scenic look of Lake Travis! Photos on Instagram @jaredlichtenberger

Russ and I love the place

Great swimming

Great for fishing off the short cliffs.

Amaze balls

Not a park for the family or anything of that nature. Didnt see anything but steep hills
