Plan Your Trip

Planning a Trip to Lakeway

Lakeway is a year round destination, but spring and fall are especially comfortable for lake views, patio dining, hiking, boating, parks, golf, and scenic Hill Country drives. Summer is the busiest season for Lake Travis trips, pool days, boat rentals, family vacations, and resort stays, while winter works well for quieter weekends, spa time, dining, trails, and slower lake area escapes. Many visitors stay near Lake Travis, Lakeway Resort and Spa, Lakeway Marina, Lakeway City Park, Ranch Road 620, or nearby Bee Cave for easy access to restaurants, shopping, parks, and Austin area attractions. Renting a car is helpful because lake access points, trails, restaurants, resorts, and nearby towns are spread out. Book early for summer weekends, holidays, spring break, golf trips, wedding weekends, and busy Austin area travel dates.
