After a heavy rainfall, fossil evidence is found in the limestone deposits in and around the streets and gullies of Lakeway, Texas. Plant and molluscan forms and dinosaur footprints are clearly visible. So, it is no surprise that one of the parks in Lakeway is named Dragon Park. Proof that millions of years ago “dragons” did roam the earth—and the Texas Hill Country!

But apparently, this has not scared people away. Lakeway, located about 20 miles northwest of Austin, is a fast-growing community on Lake Travis whose population increased from approximately 8,000 residents in 2000 to an estimated 14,217 residents in 2015. Some of its attraction may be its laid-back, casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Generations of visitors have flocked to Lakeway since they were kids and now continue the tradition by bringing their own children to enjoy the moments they cherished in their childhood.

In Lakeway, you can take pleasure in a variety of water sports offered on Lake Travis by Lakeway Marina. Rent pontoons, jet skis, basic speed boats, paddle boats or enjoy the evening breeze on a dinner cruise or a party boat. Party barges are all about group entertainment. They easily and comfortably accommodate 70 people with all the amenities needed to ensure a fun-filled fiesta on the lake. Your party is surely set for success when the basic amenities include surround sound systems, BBQ pit, and a waterslide. Head for Lakeway and let the fun begin!

For a more adventurous escapade and a more extreme sport, Aquafly Austin can hook you up. They will hook you up and strap you onto a fly board and fly you up five feet or more above the water. It can be the ultimate challenge!

For quality time with your children, check out High 5. It is a bowling alley and a restaurant with plenty of bowling lanes, arcade games, junk food, and beer for the adults. You can challenge your family to a fun game of bowling or Laser tag. Or, get plenty of quarters and spend time at the arcade with their extensive selection of video games. Enjoy a great night out with the entire family at High 5.
