Lakeway, Texas is a relatively new village by Texas standards, having been incorporated since 1974, but by geological time, it’s old….really old. As a matter of fact, fossil evidence can be found in the limestone deposits in and around the streets and gullies of Lakeway. Plant and mollusk forms as well as dinosaur footprints are clearly visible, especially after a hard rain. If you have an interest in paleontology, I highly suggest Lakeway as a vacation destination the next time you get some free time, be it a weekend or a month.
Lakeway, located about 20 miles northwest of Austin, is a fast-growing up-scale community situated on Lake Travis. Lakeway is a resort community complete with golf courses, tennis courts, marinas, a private airport, a full-service hotel and spa, 100 acres of parkland and trails, and nearly 500 acres of greenbelts. It is considered one of the finest small cities in the Austin metro area; that’s important to remember.
It’s really a just right sized town with a population of around 15,000. Some of the attraction may be the laid-back, casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Tourists have been coming to Lakeway as a vacation destination since they were kids, and are now continuing the tradition by passing it down to their children. There is no price you can put on a happy memory.
Because of the close proximity to Lake Travis, a Lakeway vacation has to involve water sports offered at Lakeway Marina. Here you can rent pontoons, jet skis, basic speed boats, paddle boats or just enjoy the evening breeze on a dinner cruise. 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!
A quality family vacation should include some activities with your children. In Lakeway you want to spend some time at the 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 change some dollars into quarters and feed them to the games at the arcade; you will be impressed with their extensive selection of video games.
Lakeway puts a soothing balm on raw nerve endings that you get after a few months working. Lakeway is a community you can choose to visit on weekends, vacation for a long time or livefull time. Lakeway offers a relaxing “lake lifestyle” and the opportunity to live and work where you play.
