Just off Ranch Road 620 next to Mansfield Dam is a scenic community called Hudson Bend. The majority of Hudson Bend is a peninsula along the south shore of Lake Travis, entirely surrounded by the main basin of Lake Travis, with the rest of the community

extending down RR 620 to Stewart Road. There are approximately 1,000 homes in a 4 square mile area as well as many marinas, restaurants and small businesses. Hudson Bend is an unincorporated community that is 16 miles northwest of Austin. The Hudson Bend Colony Neighborhood Association (HBCNA) with 9 board members and the Travis Landing Property Owners Association (TLPOA) with 10 board members are the caring stewards over this unique and diverse lakeside community.

If you are looking for a more rural setting, Spicewood is a small, unincor-porated area near the Village of Briar-cliff. Spicewood’s restful atmosphere offers a great getaway from the hectic, fast-paced life of a big city. Although it is unincorporated, Spicewood has its own post office, numerous small businesses, and the governing body is Travis County.

Located next to Mansfield Dam is Mansfield Dam Park which serves as the deepest and most accessible boat ramp on Lake Travis. Stunning views of Lake Travis can be seen from the west peninsula of the park, while scuba divers can partake in a day of underwater adventure. With four diving platforms around Lake Travis, divers can follow an underwater trail to see sunken boats, historical dam construction pieces, and other geological formations. A day isn’t complete without enjoying some delicious barbeque from the grills located within the shaded picnic area and going for a leisurely walk along one of the scenic nature trails.

Another gorgeous park located on Lake Travis is Pace Bend Park. It features over 1,000 acres of primitive wilderness, limestone cliffs, biking and walking trails, as well as camping facilities that offer electric hook-ups, showers, and restrooms. The pristine emerald waters off of this attractive shoreline offer plenty of water fun including rafting, boating, and swimming.
