Tom Hughes Park

Sneaky great spot to fish. Very steep slope. Be careful climbing here. A lot of loose rocks, a lot of deception. Overall, I had a great time. Aside from the parking lot area, this is not a place I would bring a dog.

Beautiful place for scenic views and photos. Very fresh air! Strongly recommend!!

Great natural place to swim in light blue water (not transparent). The hike to get down there and go back up is not easy, so beware of that. It's a pile of rocks that you have to be careful when going down, and it has some hard spots to climb when going back up. Wouldn't recommend it for older people or anyone with a mobile disability.

Very nice and quiet place.
I am visiting from out of state and ended up here and I'm very glad I did.
Nice hike down some steps and rocks to the water.
The hike might not be for everybody, but if you like a bit of a challenge and adventure I definitely recommend it!
The trails were nice and the water was absolutely beautiful!
The water felt great on the day I was here, and also somehow I did not see another person there except for the occasional boater.

Great view of Lake Travis!
I'm very happy I got to visit this place on my first trip to Texas!

Beautiful views, fun park for adventurous & athletic people, not so much for young children & I wouldn't even bring dogs here unless you keep them off the dangerous big rocks & stay on the trail, very rocky, no developments or comfy/smooth walkways, just primitive & beautiful nature, nice swimming areas, great exercise climbing over big rocks. Climb down a rocky cliff to reach lake & swim. Bring solid hiking shoes will tear up sandles, a backpack to keep both hands free for climbing. Not the quietest, lots of noisy motor boaters from neighborhood, & playing music loud.
Gov needs to put a ban on noisy & smelly & polluting motorcraft,
water would be far cleaner & prettier & healthier for people & wildlife.
Less noise pollution & overall better.
Still very pretty, great place to suntan, rock climb, walk around, & swim!

Didn’t know this park is not pet friendly but regardless the view is phenomenal! The drive up was a little difficult with all the sharp turns but worth the travel!

Hey there ! So wonderful hidden spot in Austin, here you can enjoy the lake , sun and amazing nature, don’t forget use a sunscreen! (At least 50) water all summer and autumn 🍂 just perfect for swimming, not cold ! But be prepared, reach the water not easy) sometimes it dangerous. Stay alert! Not Harry.

Great hiking trails and beautiful views!

Although my time here was short it really is such a lovely place to relax and swim. Getting to this place is also a small adventure having to climb up and down rocks!

Hidden gem in ATX: bring your water shoes or at least some sneakers because you will be hiking through large rocks! Tread light and bring only a couple of essentials; you will have to carry it down hill and then uphill. Expect tons of sun and not a lot of shade 🌞 bring SPF. Pet friendly and crystal blue water! Ideal for the sunset and safe swimming areas marked on the water.

Do not bring kids here!! Make sure you're wearing good footwear and are able to climb up and down big rocks!! Once you get to the water, it's beautiful and you get a sprawling view of lake travis!! Make sure you watch out for zebra mussels!!

Not young but adventurous. I have bad knees but it was wonderful. 4 people was there on arrival then they left and we had the water to ourselves on a Friday. Rocky Rocky but Private Fun.

Hidden gem lake park with incredible sunset views high above Lake Travis. If you're looking for a quiet, rugged, and romantic place to see some beautiful views of the lake, Tom Hughes is your spot.

It's a beautiful place with awesome views.

Calm place. They did not charge when we went. There was a step to see the beautiful lake and the color of the lake was wonderful, and very peaceful. You can go there and get some good view. Not more than that. Hardly 30mins can be spent in the park. No dogs allowed in the steps to see the lake. Overall it's watch worth while you are in the way to lakeway.

This place is absolutely beautiful you get the Oasis sunset from Lake level

Nice winding road to the park with an easy hike down to the water

Beautiful spot! Definitely bring your climbing skills and some floaties!!

Amazing zig zag drive to enter the park. From the parking lot to to enter the lake, there are a few paths which is a slight hike, after that a lot rocks to enter the lake and soak. There is no boat ramp but there is a marina close by

Very cool place to spend the day lounging in the rocks, doesn't have a beach.
