Written Directions

Start your route in Four Points, TX which is just outside the north west side of Austin next to Lake Travis. From here just head west on Bulluck Hollow Road and it will T into FM FM 2769 - take a left (head west). Follow this road as it winds next to the lake and it changes names to Lime Creek Rd. The road will wind its way away from the lake and T into W. Whitestone Blvd. Take a left and now you'll be heading west on FM 1431. Now you're going to stay on this road for a while as it goes through Jonestown, Lago Vista, Smithwick, and finally takes you to the routes Marble Falls.

Scenery

This road runs out of Austin to the northwest and then skirts along the north edge of Lake Travis. Just a little out of Austin you will pass the famous County Line BBQ on the Colorado River.

Drive Enjoyment

On the stretch that is the north side of the lake there are some curves that require the rider to slow to about 10mph to negotiate; there is some gravel present. Note: IF THE SIGN SAYS 10MPH, BETTER GO 10MPH.

Tourism Opportunities

Plenty of stops in Austin, in Four Corners and also Volente. If you continue on you will hit FM 1431 that will take you all the way to Marble Falls.

One of my favorite routes that is close to my house. Is good as posted. Fun to ride lots of twisty roads. Ive done it from the 620 BBQ joint (great bbq for decades) to marble falls. The part from 620 to 1431 is mostly slow roads heavier traffic (you will get stuck behind 15mph car and blind corners) and lots of twisty road. However From Lago Vista to Marble Falls is great. Cars go faster and easy to rev up and pass in needed. If your tired of high speed take a turn off onto Cow Creek Road from 1431, great hills clear water take a private dip in the clear water creek. But watch out on Cow Creek many hazards like alge riden roads low water crossings, cattle gaurds, dirt n rocks.

Lived close to here for 2 years, rode it weekly. Stay in your lane, always some idiot cutting corners or going wide. Cops typically near N end of Lime Creek Road. Asphalt marbles have been there recently due to some repairs, makes it interesting. Sport bikes and sports cars have a great time on this road! I drag my pegs if too aggressive.
