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.

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.

Am a native Austinite and have been riding Volente area for as long as I've owned a bike and it's changed a lot over the last 10 years. Long portions of the Anderson Mill part of the ride have new pavement which is a huge improvement. Lime Creek was getting really busy on weekends pre-Covid, so if you want to really move you need to go early rather than later before all the lake traffic picks up. If you're new to this part of the ride...10mph means 10mph! You can probably take these blind corners faster, but the guy coming the opposite way might be in your lane so be ready. Get your speed coming out where you can see ahead. Also keep your eye on your mirrors as there are some seriously fast folks riding this road and they can be a little reckless if they know it.
