Great trails, great lake, great park. Me and my gf went to explore for the first time and it was a nice surprise. Weather was cold but the trails keep your body heat up. A lady met us at the entrance and gave us a trail map. Pretty clear and simple instructions to go around the park. The lake is beautiful and it has some nice wildlife animals, mainly ducks. All the other visitors we encountered were friendly.
Park reservations must be made. Chilly water goes brrrrrrr 🥶 Pace yourself. Don't step on a thorn. Bend it like Beckham. Check for anemia before vigorous exercise.
Loved it. Best place to camp and have a overall great time! I would recommend to bring a kayak and fishing rod. Best time to go would be first light before sunrise. I'd go appx around 100ft in the water
One of my favorite places to spend the day near Austin. It's a bit of a drive but well worth it. Be prepared and bring hiking supplies and sunscreen.
I love Pace Bend Park I come in here since the 80s just can't come out in the summer time too many dumb people Winter X quiet
