Bob Wentz Park

A nice place to spend a fun time located on Lake Travis in Austin. The entrance fee is $5 per person. There is parking, public restrooms, and drinking water is available. There is no cafeteria or food store on site.

Such a peaceful and serene park. Literally no one was there when I went. Awesomeness.

This park has several beaches, so it’s important to read the signs and information boards carefully when entering a beach. The first beach we arrived at turned out to be a nudist beach, which was very unexpected for us, so we immediately left to find another one. The entrance fee is $8, payable in cash. Overall, this park is very beautiful, and the water is crystal clear—my friends went swimming. There were no parking issues either. I definitely want to come back here again!

Pet friendly, $5 pet person. They only accept cash!!! They start asking people to leave right around 7:30pm just around sunset. They have plenty of parking and covered picnic areas with charcoal grills. There are also bathrooms with a water fountain in the area.
