Colorado RiverLittle Webberville Park to Webberville Park
Easy lower-Colorado day trip between Travis County's Little Webberville and Webberville county parks. LCRA publishes the five-mile access spacing, both county parks provide boat ramps and Colorado River access, and the Austin USGS gauge gives the upstream product-supported flow check for the Austin-to-Bastrop corridor.

Permits, camping and season
Access and shuttle
Launch at Little Webberville Park and paddle five lower-Colorado miles to Webberville Park. Use the Colorado River at Austin gauge with a conservative 200 cfs floor, then make a same-day call on shallow bars, releases, weather, wind, motorboat traffic, and park hours.
Access map
Put-in
Little Webberville ParkTravis County publishes both endpoint parks as boat-ramp Colorado River accesses, but the coordinates are access anchors; follow current ramp signs and the wetted launch path on arrival.
Take-out
Webberville ParkLCRA lists Little Webberville and Big Webberville as consecutive lower-Colorado access points five river miles apart, with Little Webberville managed by Travis County Parks and Big Webberville / Webberville Park also county-managed.
Road shuttle
Stage Webberville Park first, then drive back to Little Webberville Park. Little Webberville boat-ramp access is open 24 hours, but Webberville Park boat-ramp hours are 8 a.m. to civil twilight, so do not start late or assume after-dark take-out access.
Additional access notes
- The Austin gauge is upstream of the Webberville reach and the threshold floor is broad Austin-to-Bastrop guidance. Treat the app score as conservative and verify visible level at the ramp before launching.
- Little Webberville has no electricity or drinking water, and Travis County Parks does not provide paddling equipment. Bring water, shuttle gear, and a backup plan.
- Do not infer camping or casual private-bank stops from the short distance, mid-river bars, or nearby rural land. Both endpoint parks prohibit camping.
More route and safety guidance
- Low water near the conservative floor can expose shallow bars and slow the trip; high or rising water after releases or storms can add debris, stronger current, and less forgiving bank exits.
- Use the Travis County park ramps as the public access pair and do not infer legal camping or casual bank use from nearby islands, sandbars, or private shoreline.

This reading was saved when we checked the guide. It is not today’s water level. Check the current gauge and local conditions before paddling.
- Conservative low-water floor200 cfs minimum-only
Texas River Flows lists Austin-to-Bastrop levels at 200, 500, 1,000, 3,000, and 5,000 cfs; its first tier marks minimum water for floating. Use 200 cfs as a low-water cue and check current local conditions.
- Camping and endpoint rulesNo route camping
Travis County Parks lists camping as prohibited at both Little Webberville Park and Webberville Park, so this ships as a day-use route with no inferred island, sandbar, or private-bank camping.
