Cypress Creek Canopy Tours

Cypress Valley Canopy Tours offers eco-adventure tours where Spirit Lodge guests hook to zip-lines and view nature, high in the cypress tree canopy. The tour takes roughly one and a half to two hours. Teambuilding is the goal, offering a unique way to create deeper bonds within the group, since few, if any, will have experienced the thrill of a zip-line tour before. Before flying through the trees, guests can sit by a small lake, or watch for green herons and turtles.

Boating on Lake Travis

The nearby lake offers several watery options, including sailboats, wave-runners, pontoon boats, fishing boats, ski boats, deck boats, stern-driven runabouts, party boats, and houseboats. Spirit Lodge outings cater to both new and experienced sailors.

Horseback Riding

Paths are padded with oak chips and are beautifully shaded, making it an enjoyable and quiet walk for the novice or a smooth, yet exciting, lope for the advanced rider. The three-acre trail provides a park-like setting with concrete picnic tables, a wrought iron western swing, and even an old-fashioned wooden bridge for a wonderful horseback afternoon. Guests can test their skill and add variety to the trail by riding through a dry creek bed.

Golf

Just a short drive from Spirit Lodge is the Pedernales Golf Club, owned by Willie Nelson. The beautiful nine-hole course spans the hill tops near the Pedernales River in western Travis County. The course is more than just a beautiful golf layout; it’s a relaxing and refreshing break from the formal country club scene. It’s adjacent to Willie’s recording studio and condos, so you may see anyone as they tee off.

Longhorn Cavern

Longhorn Cavern State Park features Longhorn Cavern, a Texas Hill Country wonder created over thousands of years by the dissolving and cutting action of water on the limestone bedrock of the area. Fossil remains show that many Ice Age animals once occupied the cave. In more recent history, the cavern was used as a Confederate stronghold where gunpowder was manufactured in secret during the Civil War. Tour guides lead Spirit Lodge guests through the cavern while sharing historic and geological facts.
