Pace Bend Park

Pace Bend Park is located in far western Travis County in the Hill Country of central Texas. This 1368 acre Park is rugged in Nature and has scenic views from the limestone cliffs or lake access on gently slopping terrain on the north and east side of the park. With more than nine miles of shoreline along scenic Lake Travis, Pace Bend is one of the most popular areas in the Highland Lakes region, offering visitors a wide range of recreational opportunities. The west side of the park features high, limestone cliffs and numerous rocky coves with some of the most impressive views available of Lake Travis, especially at sunset.

Most of Pace Bend Park is easily accessible by vehicle from the seven-mile, paved roadway that loops the park. However, the interior of the park is managed as a wildlife preserve and can be reached only by foot, bicycle, or horseback. Numerous trails lead into the hills and provide excellent views of the lake and the Hill Country. This area serves as home to a large number of whitetail deer, raccoon, fox, ringtail cat, and dozens of bird species.

These pictures were taken on a rainy and overcast day and don't do the park justice – it is very scenic. Also the lake level was down about 20 feet due to the 2006 dought.
