Lake Travis

Its peaceful, waterfront lifestyle provides an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility.

Welcome to Lake Travis

Peaceful, outdoor-oriented, lakeside neighborhood.

One of the largest communities in Texas, Lakeway lies on the southern side of Lake Travis. Home to premium golf courses and expansive lakefront property, this neighborhood was developed in the 1970s. Perhaps its most unique feature is the privately-owned airport Lakeway Airpark, which is open for residents and guests.

With some of Austin’s best views, Lakeway may have the amenities of a city, but its peaceful, waterfront lifestyle provides an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility. 20 miles from Austin, the outdoor activities here attract many people to the community.

Hill Country Galleria is the best place for shopping, dining, social activities, and the arts.

Things to Do

With a lake on the doorstep, Volente Boat Club is a great way to have fun in the sun. The oldest and largest boat club in Austin, which opened in 2004, Volente Boat Club is the only club in the U.S. that not only buys brand-new boats but replaces them every two to three years, so their guests are guaranteed the best watercraft. Members have year-round access to over 70 boats, insurance and maintenance, water toys, and premium dockside service.

Half-resort and half-waterpark, Beachside Billy’s sits on four acres of Lake Travis shoreline, giving guests easy access to the beach. This waterpark has a lazy lagoon, several water rides, two pools, a beachside bar, and a private beach and swim area. It also provides overnight bungalows and indoor and outdoor dining.

Stellar Lake Travis views and a variety of wildlife await those who tee at the Lake Travis Golf Course. With high elevations giving players a unique experience, this luxury course also has two disc golf courses with 18 baskets and, of course, beautiful scenery.

Windy Point Park has something for everyone, from lovely picnic grounds to great camping. With trees casting shade and a carefully maintained lawn, it’s a beautiful place to camp out. This park is also one of the top diving spots in Central Texas, where divers will find anything from boat wrecks and sculptures to sea turtles, manatees, and sharks.
