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.

Great ride this weekend (July 17 - 19) down from Fort Worth to Austin to do this ride. No rain which was great and warm but the ride itself was superb. Not much traffic out due to Covid (I guess) so my wife and I were able to do what we wanted to with this route with minimal interruption. Views were great, road surfaces were good and luckily no issues with any law enforcement types. I finally realized that map looks like a T-Rex so that was a bonus :) Highly recommend this ride and worked out well for us to visit Austin during these times.

If you want a road with lots of turns, hills and scenic views; then this is it. I cannot tell you how many times I have traveled up and down this road growing up. It became even better on the motorcycle. The only thing now is all the urban sprawl happening. It takes something away from the experience. Oh yes, be mindful of deer.
