About
The Loop 360 Boat Ramp is located below the southern end of Pennybacker Bridge over Lake Austin. This three-acre park is primarily used for launching and picking up watercraft. A small amount of shoreline also allows access for fishing. A few bald cypress and sycamore trees grow along the shoreline and offer some shade. There is limited parking on site.
