What to expect
Tom Hughes Park is a 5-acre park located in the basin area of Lake Travis near Mansfield Dam. The park features steep limestone outcroppings and boulders along the shoreline, as well as thick juniper and oak woodlands. Several primitive trails with steep inclines lead down to the water's edge, providing close-up views of an unusual diversity of Hill Country flora. The park is an excellent place to swim, sunbathe, or watch the sunset over Lake Travis. However, due to its rugged terrain, parents with young children are advised to exercise extreme caution. The park also has limited parking and no electricity or drinking water

Hiking Austin with Kids
Activities: We visited Tom Hughes Park, one of the closest access points to Lake Travis from Austin. It was a bit rocky and steep for our younger children, so we focused on the challenge for our older children
Highlights: The older children enjoyed the challenge of the rocky and steep access to the lake. We all enjoyed the views of Lake Travis ✨
