About Your Destination:
Situated along the banks of the long and winding Colorado River between Austin and Bastrop, Texas, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa combines a natural beauty revered by early Native American with a colorful history rooted in pre-Republic Texas. Offering amenities for every interest, along with 405 diverse Texas terrain and an adjoining 1,100 acre nature park, the resort offers guests a true, luxurious Texas wilderness escape.
The Arthur Hills-designed Wolfdancer Gold Club is like three courses in one. It's holes traverse three distinct terrains: rolling prairie land, a heavily wooded ridgeline and a river valley dotted with native pecan trees.
In addition to hiking along the numerous trails, guests enjoy canoe trips, horseback riding and fly-fishing. The fun continues after sunset with marshmallow roasting over campfires, star-gazing, hayrides and performances by local musicians. The resort's water park features lavish pools, fountains, hot tubs, an 1,100-foot Crooked River pool and a water slide.
