Windy Point Park is one of the top diving “hot spots” in the Central Texas area. It has been recognized by various divers and instructors from all over the state. Locally, several Fire Rescue and Underwater Rescue Operations use Windy Point Park as a training ground to help save lives.

We offer a wealth of items to find, explore, and seek out in Lake Travis. Divers will find boat wrecks and unique metal sculptures of a scuba diver, a sea turtle, a shark and a manatee along with other interesting objects. There are some small boats, a larger sailboat, a Pinto, and more! ( See the detailed map. ). There are six platforms available for instructors to use for training.

Divers with advanced training and experience can enjoy the deep underwater canyon wall, plunging to depths well over 100 feet. Dress warmly however – the temperatures at that depth can differ 30 degrees from the surface.

  • On-site air-fill station
  • Courtesy carts to transport your equipment
  • Minor repairs if applicable
  • Protected swim and dive areas
  • Stairs for easy access to Lake Travis
  • Instructors – Free park entry and personal air-fills with SCUBA class
  • DiveMasters – Free park entry when working with a SCUBA class

  1. This is our neighborhood park. always clean. Family friendly. Great for camping overnight. Safe for paddle parading and scuba diving. You can BBQ and set up a picnic all day for $10.00 a vehicle,

  2. Looking for a great place to scuba dive in Austin? This is your place!
    Looking for access to swim/float in the lake, without dealing with shoulder to shoulder crowds? This is your place!

    I, like many others, first stumbled upon this park while trying to get to Bob Wentz at Windy Point. The owner may be a bit touchy when people confuse the two and want their money back -rumor I heard is his family owned the land and the county took a chunk. Who knows, but it is definitely a different park than the LCRA one down the road.

    That said- you will be charged $10 a head vs. $10 a car at Bob Wentz. This does make it more expensive, but on the plus-side, the park is much more low-key and less crowded. If you’re willing to pay, it’s nice to have plenty of space and not be overrun by a bazillion people in the middle of summer. I went on the 4th of July and had plenty of space for my gear. Around the corner at Bob Wentz, you could see a line of cars and people streaming in and could hear the crowd roaring.

    This park also is geared more towards long-term camping and scuba diving. With the lake back up, you can dive directly from the shore and there are 4 platforms at different depths for diving. There’s also plenty of other items (car, sailboat, sculptures) to dive to, upwards of 100 feet. The perfect place to practice your diving, plus get air fills to keep you going.

  3. Our first trip made us return customers. Camping is what we do coast to coast, and this is one of my favorite new found campgrounds.
    Scuba classes, underwater scenery, swimming, fishing, all on a 14 million dollar lakefront proprty.
    Two thumbs up and 5 stars for true tent camping.

  4. Great SCUBA park. Owner was friendly and helpful to repair minor failures in our gear. Reasonably priced and easy to work with. I will be back!

  5. I consider Windy Point Park to be one of Austin’s best kept secrets. Northwest of Austin off RM 620, it’s an easy drive with plenty of parking.

    Set on a cliff overlooking Lake Travis (you can see Mansfield dam), and covered with trees, it’s a beautiful place to dive, have a picnic, or camp.

    Richard Barstow, owner of Windy Point Park, keeps the park immaculate, and there are dressing rooms and port-o-potties, and carts to bring down your gear. Stop by Windy Point Park; you won’t regret it.
