We have parked vehicles there many times in the past using it as a takeout point without difficulty.

Big Webberville does specifically prohibit overnight parking without prior approval of the Travis County Parks Department and locks the gate at night.

I would say if you wish to be sure check with the Parks Department about Little Webberville. Then again sometimes it is easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission. Pick your poison. :D

Also, my recollection is that you can just park on the side of the road outside of the park. I've left my car there for days at a time before.

Thanks for the reply guys!

I called to the Parks office and they said yes but that I would need to talk to the Park Ranger to be certain. Couldn't get a hold of the Park Ranger so I called Cook's Canoes and they said it should be fine there. I took my chances and left my truck in the park, and got a shuttle from Cook's. I did an overnight trip from 973 to LW Park and everything was fine.

Wow, sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, we did take pictures. My friend shared them privately from his google account. If you are still interested I can try to post them in a public portal. I know this was about 9 months ago so there may not be an interest anymore. Let me know otherwise. Thanks!

Thanks Hirsch! I've done the kayak camping excursion on the 969 to Little Webberville park trail and 973 to Fisherman's park trail multiple times and enjoyed them every time. But I am ready for a new trail. I've been wanting to do the Upper Brazos trail but not sure if I can get away for 3 days anytime this spring. I am looking for some other 1 night options and I hear Smithville to Plum Park is a good trail but seems a long ways for a 1 night trip with fishing involved (~18mi). I guess I could just limit my fishing.

I have done the Possum Kingdom 20 mile stretch in one night as have many here. Still it is much nicer as a 2 night stretch.
