Lakeway, Texas

What to See & Do

Lakeway City Park provides green space, sports facilities, and lake views. The park is a community gathering place for events and recreation year-round.

Lakeway Resort and Spa is one of the premier resort destinations in the Austin area, with lake views, a full-service spa, pool facilities, and excellent dining — a destination in its own right.

Pace Bend Park — About 10 miles west on TX-71, this Travis County park has over 1,000 acres of shoreline access on Lake Travis with camping, swimming, and boating.
