Setting On the water

A Travis County park on a peninsula jutting into Lake Travis with miles of rocky limestone shoreline where families can find their own private cove to swim and explore. Kids love climbing the layered limestone ledges and jumping into the deep clear water below. The camping is first-come first-served and the sites along the water are spectacular. When the lake level is up this is one of the best swimming spots in Central Texas.
