Beautiful place! We had a great time here and cant wait to be back! The trails are fun and…read moredefinitely challenging at some points. The trails were a blend of rocks and sand. But you can not beat the AMAZING views! The camp ground was very well maintained with men and women's bathrooms, which happen to be one of the cleanest and nicest bathrooms I've seen for a campground! I mean, they have flushing toilets, showers, QUAILTY toilet paper, sinks, hand soap, and paper towels! We had an amazing weekend biking, camping, grilling, swimming and paddle boarding. We didn't see as many campers as we thought we would, but did run into a few other who were very nice. We camped next to the lake and didn't have any issues with mosquitos or any other bugs, but beware, the ants are HUGE!!!! Since this is a ranch, there are cows roaming around and when there are cows, there are cow patties! So be mindful of that. They didn't seem to mind us riding past them. Also, be aware that there could be snakes as we saw a rattler. Only issue was we couldn't find a dump site so we took our trash back to town until we could find a dumpster. TIPS: -Bring a first aid kit just in case. -Bring EVERYTHING you plan on using, we rented a paddle board in Austin (See my review for ACK) -If you camp in a tent, bring METAL stakes, as the ground is really hard and covered with rocks. -Phone service for Tmo was non-existent, but Verizon had good reception. -Bring more than extra stuff to fix flats!

I was here for the famed (infamous?) Texas Eclipse Festival with 30,000-40,000 others. While the…read morefestival itself had some problems with organization that were completely unrelated to the ranch itself, I enjoyed my experience here quite a lot. There are some beautiful overlooks, a nice quarry lake for cooling off (although who knows how clean the water is, if livestock use it), and an overall great away-from-it-all vibe. I read that they use this ranch for mountain biking and I believe it. The hills are nothing to mess around with. Hiking will require quite a bit of up and down. Also, the dust was baaaaaaad. Come prepared with a mask or bandana if you are at all sensitive to dust. Other than that, it seems like a beautiful spot for recreating in the TX Hill Country.

Drove 13 hrs one way and ended up leaving the first night. Talked with them multiple times for 2 wks about us coming and when we arrive the camper rented to us for 400$ dollars had rotten food in fridge was filthy stunk and had trash and grease all in the floor and sink. They didn't even clean it or remember us booking it . Then they lied and said they just got the camper and gave 2 different stories but sent us pictures of it 6 months ago. We hunted 2 hrs out of our 4 days and was successful however their skinning rack was broken and we had to fix it and then since the camper was not working we had no place to shower and had to drive smelling like a dead animal 45 min back to town at 2am just to shower . All they gave us was 400$ for the lodging and declined to do anything else after we spent $500 each on hunting deposit took 2 days off work and 400$ on the camper to leave in 5 hrs because they lied about their camper rental.

The trail is a mostly flat winding path through fields and wooded areas with one decent hill towards the end if starting from Govalle Park. At the top of the hill at the end you are rewarded with a few spots of dt Austin from the NE. Be sure to bring plenty of water during the summer as it can get prettty hot out and certain areas are directly in the sun and can be a little draining. Great easy bike path for those that want something paved, no dirt path and a nice leisurely ride.

It's of natural creeks. The sound of running natural water is so relaxing. Extremely beautiful. If you are biking be careful because there are some low spots that will take you head off if you are a tall rider and not paying attention. The Lakeway police are really nice and will let you park at their police station. Great for walking, biking and or meditation. I really enjoyed his ride. With all the inclines and declines you can definitely burn some calories fast. I highly recommend this trial is you are visiting Lake Travis or live in the area. I will definitely be stopping here next time I am in Lake Travis! Very nice trail!

Booking a tour with Brina ended up being one of the best decisions we made! She is incredibly knowledgeable, makes safety a priority, and somehow keeps the entire experience relaxed, fun, and encouraging. She took the time to build our confidence, explain techniques in a way that actually made sense, and before we knew it, we were riding trails we never thought we'd feel comfortable on. By the end of the tour, we finally felt like we belonged on a mountain bike instead of just trying to survive one! After the ride, Brina went above and beyond by sharing recommendations for local hangout spots, restaurants, and events happening around Austin, which made us feel even more excited about our new city. We had an absolute blast and are already looking forward to booking a more challenging tour with her. If you're visiting Austin or even if you're a local wanting to improve your skills while having an amazing time, this is an experience you don't want to miss. Highly recommend!
