Things to do nearLoop 360 Boat Ramp
Loop 360 Boat Ramp in Austin, Texas offers direct access to Lake Austin, scenic Hill Country views, and a beloved local waterfront escape.
Loop 360 Boat Ramp sits along Lake Austin, the reservoir formed by Tom Miller Dam on the Colorado River. The surrounding landscape reflects the rugged beauty of the Texas Hill Country, with cedar and cypress lining the banks and pale limestone cliffs framing the water.
The ramp itself is a City of Austin managed facility, giving residents and visitors a straightforward launch point for motorized boats, kayaks, and canoes. The presence of the Capital of Texas Highway bridge overhead adds an unexpected urban drama to an otherwise natural setting.
Anglers frequent the area year-round, targeting largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish in the cool, clear water. Paddlers enjoy exploring the quieter coves upstream, where herons and egrets wade along the shallows. Swimmers occasionally cool off near the banks, though the primary draw remains on-water recreation.
For those who simply want to sit and take in the scenery, the ramp area offers an unobstructed view of the bridge and the wooded ridgelines beyond. Loop 360 Boat Ramp is a straightforward, honest slice of Austin's outdoor life that rewards a visit any time of year.

Try fishing near the bridge pylons, where bass and catfish tend to congregate in the shade.

Visit on a weekday evening for quieter conditions and a striking view of the bridge lit against the sunset sky.
