Nice views but entry fee is a little pricey if youre not launching a boat.

Beautiful park well keep. Very open to allow social distancing. Entry fees apply $10.00 per vehicle up to 8 people per vehicle

Great place for triathlons and other workout activities particularly if it involves open water swimming. The course around the lake is on the hilly side. It is also great for family outings and picnics.

Great place for family. Great place to fish. We enjoy it.

Great lake for someone new to paddle boarding or canoeing like me. The current is very manageable and there is low motorized boat traffic. The beach area and amenities could use some improvement.

Just ok. Not very big, only a few tables but good for boating.

A very peaceful park. The lake is nice and the area is well maintained and clean. Great place for a picnic.

Great place to workout and have a picnic. Went swimming, water was clean enough for me but it is murky and foaming. Obvious runoff from nearby processing plants. Which is a shame. Worth the $5 though for sure

We had a Family Bbq there! The water had a calming effect and I didnt want to leave!!

The beach area was very littered with beer bottle caps, cigarette butts and trash; which made it harder to enjoy a picnic. Swimming is easily accessible. Will not being returning for a family picnic.

Nice spot tucked away good for if you want to get away for a minute get a piece of mind or a family picnic

For fishing, mornings are best. Bank fishing in the evenings is not good with people swimming on each side of you. The grounds are well kept. Theres lots of hydrilla in the lake.

Beautiful underutilized land. Rodeo Austins home. Large lake in park with good fishing and boating opportunities. Hopefully city of Austin relinquishes some of the tax monies approved by voters in Travis county for needed improvements to the arena and surrounding areas. Austin seems reluctant to do so? In fact the issues with Austin is they already have the money spent, before its in hand, typical. Just like the lake front properties recently added to the tax rolls they spent that before even receiving it. Buying hotels etc. for homeless people, whom I agree need help but is that the correct path? By purchasing the properties they are removed from the tax rolls as well as the income they generated from occupancy taxes, wow, a double whammy on income sources. I digress, sorry. Enjoy the solitude available here.

Pretty dead but cool place for sure

Too many ppl fishing where not permitted. Not much else to do there but fish tho.

Nice big park, wide open spaces, more quiet & peaceful location away from traffic. Just waaayyy too many portable bathrooms placed everywhere, really degrades the scenery, & I would never use those. All of that money would be better spent on park road repairs, less portable bathrooms, more road maintenance. Nice water views & great place to exercise.

We kayaked and fished. It was very windy, but calmed down after sunset. Pretty cool, but not as cool as kayak fishing town lake in austin.

Walter E Long is less than 10 min from my house and is an under appreciated gem of NE Austin. There is plenty of good fishing spots and picnic space for small to medium gatherings and the park is usually not very busy. Would really like to have a party here in the Fall once it cools down.

I had an amazing time with friends and family going to the Native pow wow hosted there. There was incredible food, stands, music, and the dancing was so beautiful. Wish I could have been there all day.

Great park. Heavily used for good reason.

Dog shows and monster truck show in one Saturday afternoon. Easy parking . Something different most every weekend

Nice swimming and quick get away close to downtown.

Bass fishing is great, just have your tangle free lures

More family friendly atmosphere and relatively quiet, been going there since the 90s

Always love this place. Its always clean, always has stocked portapotties usually has nice people or hardly anyone to bug is.

Didnt have any bites, but its cool until all the people show up, then its time to pack up fishing

Had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed seeing all of the TLC put into good American Classic Cars.

Fast plumbing office is right next to Walter E Long Lake it is a very nice recreational place to enjoy our time off

Beautiful lake but the website says there are walking trails and there isnt. Super disappointed I paid $5 to get in and couldnt do anything. I guess its nice if you have a boat or fish. It has potential to be a great park. Put in some trails, add a playground etc it would be perfect. But right now it isnt worth $5 unless your boating...

Its properly Landscaped..a pleasure to walk through a cool day.

Great place to fly model airplanes.

Camping there was okay, enjoyed the view and the trails. However, the little thorns all over the place made the stay a bit unenjoyable.

Pretty park, lots of open grass for dogs to run around! Beautiful little water reservoir that looks like a small lake. People can go fishing on it and swimming in parts. There are areas to have a picnic or a party as well. There doesnt appear to be a regular life guard on duty, so you must swim at your own risk. But definitely recommend going by and checking it out.

$10 per vehicle for the entrance

Nice little tucked away spot. Good for walking the pup.

Great location to dog walk or just have a nice picnic. So.e really great spots here for engagement or special photos.

BBQ Cook-off in Austin is always a great time! Awesome atmosphere, great music, drinks and of course BBQ!

Well maintained city park. Beautiful location. Great for picnics

Beautiful place and affordable to enter only down side was the drug addicts that used the park as a shoot up and smoking site. Just to clarify it wasnt just one car but several that we past that were not shy about what they were doing inside.

Nice, to relax with the family on a weekend and in town. Although, there are times it smells very fishy

Nicr place for picnics and a quick dip in the water. My kids enjoyed swimming in the water a lot.

Totally underrated lake on the east side of Austin, great boating lake and good swimming

My culture. Love this place.

I went expecting to be able to hike a little bit or at least walk around the water, but this is definitely not that kind of park. Good for picnics and leisurely boating I suppose.

What kind of city park charges money to go inside?out-of-town just stopped by and they want to charge me $10 to go in this park because its a Friday normally its like $5 Monday through Thursday. This is a complete rip off and there was no one even there so the park isnt even making any money. Dont waste your time go to a different free park.

Its a great place to swim. Pretty decent parking. My only problem is the amount of fishing hooks and broken beer bottles that I have found on the ground amd in the lake itself. Its not the Parks fault, its the people who visit. If you bring your family and pets, you might wanna do a good search of the area to make sure its clean.

Have a need to get away from pavement and sidewalks load up your skies, kayaks,canoes and boats with motors. Great boat docks at this place bait house close by. 3 pound black bass thought i was napping come out the waters fine, No cash only plastic

I like this lake. Its a typical Texas power plant reservoir. Its not crowded, its fairly quiet, its a short drive. I never catch a ton of fish, but I catch some and thats fine with me.Disregard Jorge Ts review. Hes clearly a chump. I fish alone and therefore have to leave my boat unattended while I park. Ive had zero problems. Not everyone at the lake is an angler and thats fine with me.

Peaceful place to relax

Chill lake, lots of sun and cool water. Kiddos always enjoy swimming here. Water shoes are nice for the rocky bottom.

Admittedly, I didnt spend much time in the park itself as I went to the lake to go kayak fishing. However the parks of the park that i saw were pretty nice. The boat ramps are very good and because there is only one park on the whole lake it limits the amout of pleasure boaters and other traffic making it a great place to fish.

Great place to kayak. Lots of fishing boats around too. Huge expanse of water, with inlets and coves to explore as you paddle. Small beach areas dot the edge. Only porta-potties available. Debit or credit card only for fee at the gate. $5 for a lovely 2 hour paddle. Well worth it

Quiet Sunday morning with the kids, just catching some perch.

It looked very nice

Nice park with a beautiful lake.

Great place to relax.

No fish from shore,2 days not a single bait on ANYTHING. Entrance fee is way to high if you dont have a boat. The entire park needs a revamp if charging so much. Main restrooms locked,at least there are porter pottys there, the road is more like offroad, garbage and steel bottle caps everywhere, the metal benches all rusted and nasty looking. They got a sand volleyball court, but is located under a tree?not sure how that works. Otherwise was a quiet weekend.

Love the lake and sizeable boat ramps

This is a nasty venue for the event my animal rescue organization just participated in. The event is called Strut Your Mutt and people walk their dogs, but the areas designated for such are either uneven asphalt with much gravel, stones and broken glass, or burr-infested fields. Shade is rare on any part of the property. The dreadful heat only exacerbated the situation, but I cant imagine that anyone would consider this place pleasant under any circumstances.

Great fishing location

It was a nice place to go for a picnic. I was there to go fishing with my tio but we didnt get any fish lol. But maybe if we take a boat with us and go deeper maybe we will catch some. But it was a nice place to chill and have a cold beer during the summer.

Decent facilities, but auditorium could have been set up better to allow for drum circle in middle

A great place to go fishing with family and friends

Good location for a triathlon.

I tried out my fishing skills. Didn’t catch anything. Sometimes there is a lot going on here it’s not always quiet and peaceful. You don’t really have to answer the park rangers questions I ignore them completely and they go back to mowing the grass.

This is one of the most ignored parks and lake in the Austin area. There is finally talk about major improvements there in the near future. The fishing can be good so on second thought maybe you stay away from my fishing hole.

Ive spent many summers here but the park has gotten dirty somewhat unsafe the past few times I’ve visited.

Nice metro area park with boat ramps. Affordable entry fees...family and pet friendly.

Big lake. Nice clean large park.

Best bbq in Austen tx

Race weekend. Rookie tri. Park was in good condition and was clean.

The yearly can show is amazing! Car livers from all over America. What a great weekend.

Great place for all families

Nice fishing place alot of bass

Super scenic! One of the best parks to visit here in Austin and the surrounding area!

So peaceful and reasonably priced, love going here to get a breath of fresh air

This was a nice morning for a Triathlon. Lots of fun.

Its a park. If you want to go to a park then theres definitely one here.

I spent the day flying with the Austin Radio Control Association It was a great time.

Just beautiful!

Very nice and clean. We parked outside and walked to the lake since were only fishing for a little while.

Went for the Foam Glow 5K. Event was great, traffic was abysmal. Would still recommend attending, just expect a decent wait to be able to leave.

BOAT RAMP CLOSED, FISHING SLLLLLOWW

Peaceful during the week. Weekends on the other hand are a little noisy. Good kayak fishing.

Capital City clays is a nice club located at the park for shotgun shooting sports.

It is a nice place to go & take Your Familys to go have fun at!

If you missed the 18th Annual Lonestar Rod and Custom round-up, you need to come next year. Its awesome has food trucks, swap meet and classic cars.

Not great for swimming, not much space.

Great for padleboard

Thanksgiving Day 2017, a quiet walk at a new location. The park was clean and well manicured. The water / lake added to the relaxing atmosphere. I enjoyed it. There is a fee. There was no attendant. Would I be towed or not? Anxiety

Loved it, great views and well maintained.

Good Park easy access but there needs to be some way to cut this hydrilla bamboo stuff out of the way so you can get into the water from the shore

Small, but nice to chill by the lake for a quick getaway in East Austin.

Super nice during summer can grill some carne asada by the water and have a great time !

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The shop needs more supplies.

Beautiful lake close to my house.Great fishing and boating

Good fishing lake if you have a boat.

Just passing through

As parks go it was better than most

Great park. Very clean and spacious.
