One time I jumped in the water at Lady Bird Lake, and I got morbidly ill for days and could not get out of bed. I would highly not recommend getting in the water there. That being said, Lake Georgetown is quite different and it would seem that the water is pretty clean there. It probably goes without saying it is much less crowded than Lake Austin/Travis or anything near downtown, and it has plenty of space for picnicking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Usually I will go running around Lake Georgetown because it is much less crowded than Lake Austin, and there are shorter routes depending how far you want to run. I guess the one thing I will say is that the trails to "hike" or walk around the lake are not as established as some other hiking trails I've been on, so just be prepared for that and maybe don't wear short shorts if you're going to try any hikes around the lake.

I am rarely in Georgetown, TX, so I thought I would take in the sights and sounds of Georgetown…read more First sightseeing stop...San Gabriel Park. San Gabriel Park is huge, scenic, and with pristine manicured grounds. There is a little something for everyone - playground for children, walking and cycling trails for adults and fishing for adults as well. Quite honestly, I was surprised to see how many folks were fishing in the San Gabriel River. San Gabriel Park is located along the San Gabriel River. Although the San Gabriel Park is quite large, it has the feel of being absolutely serene simultaneously. The park has picnic tables, places to sit along the river and places to hang out if you want to meditate or take in the park's beauty alone. This park is definitely family-centric with playgrounds, open fields, and shaded areas for picnics or self-discovery.

There are several parks along the way where you can sit or have a picnic. There is even a few places that have children's playgrounds.

*Favorite Trail*…read more This last year has been dedicated to a finding trails that challenge me. The Tejas Trail located at Tejas Camp allowed me to hike a medium - hard leveled trail. This trail had some beautiful views and has made it to the top of my favorite trails. This trail was challenging and everything you'd want in a trail. Highly recommend. Beware as you need to come prepared with good energizing snacks and large amounts of water.

They have dozens of picnic tables that you can have a snack on, and for only four bucks for a ten minute train, maybe fifteen minute train ride, it is a steal. I love the fact that they're trained their playground and their picnic tables are all on their trees. So you're not in the sun at all during the summer, when you come out next to a park that has soccer about basketballs, tennis goals.All kinds of stuff to do around you. We will definitely be bringing our daughter out for the years to come

After you're done, there is a playground for the kids and a nice "western town" area for photos. There are more attractions like a little train for kids but it was shut down so I don't know if they're working on it or what. Don't get your expectations up for the sights on the train ride - it's not much. A soccer field and then it's just dry brush / trees. One of the most disappointing elements was that there was no info given on the ride (saw speakers so the conductor could have talked). According to their website, the train takes you through the hideout of Sam Bass (outlaw that died in Round Rock) so that would have been cool to hear about. Overall, kids love trains so this is a good way to entertain them.

This was my first time here, so I wasn't sure where to go. The road that goes around & over the dam is closed until Aug 2024, so I just took the only other option. I ended up at the boat launch, and it's a great place for pics! Plenty of ducks & pretty scenery! Not too many people on the lake or in the campground, but it definitely looks like a nice place to spend a relaxing weekend & drop a line in the water!

These sites also come with running water and electricity, as a reminder be sure to grab your parking pass on the way in and stick it on your windshield. Pros-I rented campsite #32 and I was beyond satisfied. Steps away from the lake and seeing all the boaters and water skiing going on was awesome. My campsite had its own path down to the lake so it was such easy access. The camp host or volunteers were very nice and would wave while driving by making me feel very much at home. I went during the wk so it was peace and quiet a great get away if you want to just leave the hustle and grind of everyday city life. Cons- when rented a site close to the water keep in mind the wind conditions, shouldn't be an issue if you are coming with an RV but I had a tent and it was extremely windy sometimes blowing my belonging off the pavilion table. No question about it I will be returning again soon!

Street parking is allowed on Greenlawn Blvd and at the main entrance on Heritage Springs Trail. The only amenities at this location are a few benches, a paved trail system and further inward you will find primitive trails and a dry creek crossing at Lake Creek.

If you're looking for a quiet place to hike or bike, this would be a good starting point.
