There’s nothing quite like a day on the water with a paddle in hand and the sun on your face. Since 2020, Austin Paddleboard & Kayak (APK) has welcomed locals, out-of-towners, and first-time explorers with friendly service, high-quality gear, and one of the best launch spots on Lake Travis. Situated in the calm "no-wake zone" of Hurst Creek Arm, it’s an ideal place to slow down and connect with the lake, either on your own or with family and friends.
APK offers kayaks, paddle boards, and pedal kayaks for all skill levels, along with a lineup of themed experiences to make each visit unique. Start your day with "mornin’ fishing" from 6 to 8 AM, or stop by in the evening for sunset paddles and happy hour rides that include a complimentary drink from Graveyard Point Icehouse. You can also join a full moon paddle and enjoy a peaceful night on the water. Guests love the flexibility of choosing short outings or longer adventures, all with easy access from APK’s dock.
APK keeps the experience simple and welcoming. With dockside access and a laid-back setting, it’s a favorite for Lakeway families and visitors. Local hospitality adds a personal touch that makes each visit feel easy and enjoyable. All activities are designed to be smooth and stress-free, regardless of age or experience. It’s about making time outdoors feel fun and accessible for everyone.
Bring the kids, invite your neighbors, and come make a memory you’ll talk about all summer. Reservations are required. Book today at APKlt.com or visit in person at 1499 Graveyard Point Rd, Lakeway, TX 78734. The dock is open daily from 9 AM to 7:30 PM.
