Description

An area previous marked as a swimming hole, the dryness of the Lake has made potential beach-goers pretty much avoid the place. A bit of a hike down to the water's edge, and then there are typical Austin Limestone ledges on either side of the inlet. Plenty of good boulder problems and you could potentially climb and top out above. Set a top-rope on the granite slabs above and you've got some excellent climbs in the 5.6-5.10 range due to multiple nice roof features.

Getting There

Use the road to Thurman Cove, make a right at the fork, park at the dead-end. A short downclimb from the park benches looks worse than it is. When finished up, take a dip in the water for a nice refresher.
