We don’t give a shit anymore but here it is for your reading pleasure:

“Made a trip down to Austin with 12 other guys for my buddy’s bachelor party. I worked with Spark Parties to setup a BBQ/beer tour across austin, a trip to the gun range and a night out. Everything went smoothly and we had an absolute blast. I spent a good amount of time on the phone with Nick (our main contact) and he went over all the neighborhoods in Austin and recommended some great restaurants and bars. We took all his recommendations and everything was great. One plus is that everyone can pay with paypal beforehand so you don’t have to deal with one person paying for everything. Definitely recommend spark parties!” — Scott R from NYC

There a few boats that are great for Lake Travis and Devil’s Cove. Here are some sample pics.

We’ve been getting a lot of calls/emails with people interested in our services and added value so we’re not fretting that Yelp continues to filter our reviews.  Here is the latest from Shobit A in Atlanta:

“Nick, my main contact with Spark Parties, was really helpful. He provided us with a number potential daytime activities in the Austin area in addition to the regular outdoor stuff everyone already knows about.

For the bachelor party, we decided on doing skeet shooting since most of the guys in the group had never been and thought it would be cool. We arrived at a ranch about 1.5 hours northwest of Austin and were greeted by the shooting instructors who were very down to earth. They provided us with everything we would need and also kept tally of how many skeet each of us shot.

Overall, it was a great event and we couldn’t have done it without Nick’s help! I would definitely recommend spark parties to anyone looking for unique bachelor party ideas.”

So, there are a number of lakes near Austin but Lake Travis and Town Lake (aka Ladybird Lake) are where most people hang out because they’re the closest to the city.

Lake Travis is the wakeboarding and getting drunk like there’s no tomorrow lake.  A part of Lake Travis is named Devil’s Cove (we assume because of the debauchery that takes place).  This is where you want to be from mid May until mid September.  Stick to Town Lake the rest of the year.  Here’s a visual:

Town Lake is more of a kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, and scenic boat ride place — that’s because it runs along the south end of downtown which means good skyline views but no one really swims in it.
