Lake Travis Area Parks Guide: Pace Bend Park

Written by Mandy Spivey | July 1, 2015

It’s a special time of the summer when the sun is out and Lake Travis is (almost) full.

To get your best views of the water and maybe even dip your toes in a bit, don’t forget one of the most popular of Travis County Parks, Pace Bend Park.

Take a drive west through the Hill Country along Highway 71 to Spicewood and just before crossing over the Pedernales River, head down Pace Bend Road to arrive at the park. You’ll be hard-pressed to find better glimpses of the blue waters of Lake Travis.

Hill Country Day Trip: Enchanted Rock

Written by Mandy Spivey | February 17, 2015

Pack your water bottles and grab your hiking shoes! When the weather warms up Central Texas, it’s easy to find yourself in search of outdoor activities to get yourself out of the house and into the sun.

If you haven’t had the chance, take a scenic drive through Central Texas and out to Fredericksburg to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, where you can take in a bit of Lone Star history while admiring the awe-inspiring rock formations that make up the peaks of Enchanted Rock. Natural flora and fauna make appearances throughout the trails here, and you’re welcome to take in the natural rock by way of hiking, rock climbing and camping at designated spots around the park.
