Spring in the Texas Hill Country is electric. Longer days, warmer nights, and perfect weather mean Lake Travis is alive with activity and adventure. It’s time to spring back into life! Get out on the water, hit the trails, and soak up the sunshine. The Hollows on Lake Travis is the perfect home base for springtime fun for the whole family.
1. Hiking and Biking With a View
Spring is a magical time to explore the trails at The Hollows. The air is fresh, the wildflowers are in bloom, and the views of Lake Travis are enchanting. Enjoy a walk or bike ride through the miles of scenic trails winding through the Hill Country’s stunning landscape.
Head five miles west of town to the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge for even more adventure. This hidden gem is home to rugged trails, breathtaking overlooks, and some of the best birdwatching in Texas.
2. Get out on the Water
Nothing says spring like a day on the lake. With two private Kayak Clubs, the Hollows residents have easy access to paddle out and enjoy the Lake from sunrise to sunset. Take a scenic stroll on a path leading to the dock, where you can launch your kayak right on the shore of the lake. Whether it’s a sunrise paddle or a golden-hour float, being this close to the lake makes every day feel like a vacation.
Spend the whole day out on the water with easy access to boat rentals, from pontoon boats to sailboats and party boats for every occasion. Fishing is a must this time of year, with bass and other local fish becoming more active.
