    Beach area!
    Adam N.

    Great beach access area to Lake Georgetown-we really love coming here. $5 per car to get in if you're headed to swim. Plenty of parking, but this place does fill up super fast so I'd plan to get there early. The beach is made of small pebbles that can get super hot during the day, so bring the swim shoes with you. You'll get a leg workout walking around for sure! If you get there early enough, you can set up close to the water. They do have picnic tables a little further back that do have shade, but bring your own tent if you have one along with weighted bags or something to tie it down with. It can get windy. Water is great, they keep the park pretty clean, and overall just a fun time. Definitely recommend!

    Beautiful easy hike. Rating is low only because the hike was easy but enjoyable. Great for families and parking was easy. Great place to go with kids. Went at a time when the water was low but enjoyable.

    OK, it's late May in Texas, and officially not hiking weather. That said, my friend, her two dogs, and I ventured out to check out the hike around Lake Georgetown. There are at least three different parks with trails around the lake. It's really very enjoyable, but you've got to start early, before the heat of the day sets in. And I know I'm going to sound like a mom (but that's OK because I am one): wear sunblock, spray your feet and legs with bug spray to prevent chiggers, and carry twice as much water as you think you'll need. Oh and also, wear a hat. If you follow these simple mom-isms, I think you'll have a great time walking around this lake. We crossed paths with several other hikers. Everyone was friendly and clearly enjoying the scenic trails. Let me know if you check this place out and if you like it as much as I did. Happy hiking!

    Pretty views behind Group Shelter #2, which holds 50 people (cub scouts & parents).

    Finding a last minute camping spot within a quick drive from Austin can sometimes be a challenge, especially during the best springtime weekend camping dates. That's why I was so pleasantly surprised that our Cub Scout pack was able to snag a fantastic group camping spot only 1 month in advance in mid-April on the north side of Lake Georgetown at Russell Park. We were able to easily accommodate 20 families (50 people total, $75/night) with room to spare at the wooded Group Shelter #2, which has a short trail to access the lake, in addition to a large covered pavilion with 10 power outlets, 2 big grills, a fire ring, a freshwater faucet, and latrines (his & hers) that were shared with the adjacent Group Shelter #1. The lake access from this part of the park is not really suitable for swimming (the boys did some fishing & rock-skipping there), but there is a boat ramp and swim beach on the other side of the park where the rest of the individual campsites and day-use shelters can be found, as well as the full bath-houses with showers. Individual tent camping spots are only $12/night and screened shelters are $24/night. Day use passes for the swim beach or boat ramp access are $4 per vehicle. If you want to reserve a campsite at Russell Park, visit their Recreation.gov page at https://www.recreation.gov/camping/russell-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=93618 For other information about the park itself, you can find listings for it with maps on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers site http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/georgetown/index.asp, as well as the Texas Parks and Wildlife site https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/recreational/lakes/georgetown/access.phtml.

    Lake Georgetown beach at Russell Park

    Fantastic place to spend a sunny day. Pebble beach, not terribly crowded. No pets allowed - I'd love to bring my dog but also I'm glad I don't have to worry about stepping barefoot in the mess left behind by someone else's dog! Happy to go back soon!

    Plenty of water to paddle board on over here. You will see motorized vehicles since it's close to a boat launch, so be careful. It does cost to get in. Also bring your own shade and water. The water in the bathrooms weren't working.

    Swimming area

    Haven't been to the other parks in Lake Georgetown, so can't compare. Swimming area is nice and wide, so even if there's a lot of people there's plenty of space to swim. If you want a shaded picnic area, come early (before 9:30 on weekends/holidays). Beach area is pebbled. Restrooms and showers are available, although they aren't the cleanest (but they work). There is a little bit of trash and beer caps, so I'd recommend not going barefoot until you get close to the water. Good fishing area if you walk about 10-15 minutes right of the swimming area.

    I had such a fun time camping here this past weekend!! I rented a cabin and the bunk beds were perfect. Trees were sturdy enough to put the hammocks on. I'd recommend bringing a broom just to sweep the cob Webb's / dirt out of the room. Can't wait to be back in summerr

    We went to this park for my grandson's birthday. It is in Round Rock Texas. It is a safe place to…read morebring your children to play. There is a fence completely surrounding the park and there is a gate to go in and out of which has the handles high enough that a child could not open that gate. There was a lot of thought put into this park. They have wonderful learning areas such as they have an area all about music; This was definitely a favorite place. There are chimes to sound and drums to play, The children really enjoyed this area. They had a zip line made for children. My four-year-old granddaughter was enjoying it and after her, some 13-year-olds were enjoying it. It's very well-made, very safe and very fun. They have a shopping area for them to pretend -- along with their own personal H-E-B! My granddaughter really enjoyed pretending to shop. I think that's a secret word here, there's a lot of pretending going on here! I highly recommend this park. It's important to know that animals are not allowed unless it's a service animal. There's a lot of kids running and yelling and playing and laughing. This is not the place for you if you're going to a park to read a book. This is definitely a great place for children or for parents to play with their children. I highly recommend you visit.

    Yes! I don't know why I haven't been here sooner. I love that the play areas are gated in, so…read morethere's no worry about running into the parking lot. There are different sections for all kiddos interests and there are multiple shaded tables to stop for a snack. It's great for parties or to go on your own.
