Bevelo Larkspur, a community of standout apartments near Austin, TX, puts parks, lakes, and trails just minutes from home. Here’s where to go for a good day out in nature, plus a few spots to grab a bite after.

Parks and Trails Near Bevelo Larkspur

A few of the best spots are conveniently close to home.

  • Larkspur Park is a great option if you don’t want to get in the car. Hit your step count goal or take your dog for their daily exercise at this nearby neighborhood park.
  • If you enjoy spending time by the water, head to Devine Lake Park, a 45.5-acre park built around a small lake. Wander the scenic trail that loops the shoreline, or bring your gear, since fishing and paddling are both allowed. Leashed dogs are welcome as well, so invite your pup along to enjoy the air, grass, and sun.
  • Benbrook Ranch Park allows for a more active day, with an 18-hole disc golf course, a skate park, and ball fields. The course follows a creek and crosses water on several holes. Picnic pavilions make it easy to stay all afternoon.

For a bigger outing, Lake Travis is about 20 to 25 minutes away and covers boating, swimming, and lakeside dining. Marinas nearby rent kayaks and paddleboards, so you can fully enjoy your time out on the water and get a little exercise as well.
