A little preparation makes boarding easier, especially during busy weekends and holidays. Give your group enough time to arrive, complete check-in, and meet your captain before departure.
Arrival Time

Parking
Free public parking is available outside the Loop 360 Boat Ramp park entrance. The parking area is on the right side immediately before the entrance booth. Parking can fill during busy weekends and holidays, so rideshare is still a good option during peak periods.
As with any public parking area, do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle.
Travis County Entrance Fee
The Travis County park entrance fee is separate from your Wake Riderz reservation and is currently cash-only at Loop 360 Boat Ramp.
