Emma Long Park Austin, TX

Find your home in a wooded retreat

Riverfront Park Boating

Emma Long Metropolitan Park covers a large area along the Colorado River. This park includes 12 miles of hiking trails and offers camping, swimming, boating, and fishing. The park even offers motorcycle trails for those who enjoy off-roading. The wooded, natural feel of the park extends into the nearby neighborhoods, making it feel as though you are living in the park.

If you want to have this amazing park and the river as your backyard, look in the neighborhoods on the west side: Phillips Ranch on Lake Austin, Manana West, the Woods of Greenshores, Oak Shores on Lake Austin, Briarpatch, and Green Shores on Lake Austin. Glenlake, located on the northeast side of the park, is another excellent option. Commuting from your wooded retreat is still quick and easy, with Downtown Austin located about 12 miles southeast.
