Emma Long Metropolitan Park is a 1,142 acre oak, ash and juniper woodland in the hill country. Nestled on Lake Austin, the park has approximately a mile of lakefront. Visitors to the park may enjoy water activities such as boating, skiing, and swimming. There is also a large, sandy beach that is great for sunbathing. Camping and a motocross track set Emma Long apart from the other City of Austin parks as the sole provider of these activities.
