  Hippie Hollow Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hippie Hollow Park (technically known as MacGregor County Park and usually simply called Hippie Hollow) is a county park in central Texas located on the shore of Lake Travis northwest Austin.
Hippie Hollow got its name due to its traditional use as a nude swimming, or "skinny-dipping", spot beginning in the early 1960s.
Hippie Hollow remains clothing optional, and like many so-called nude beaches has a more or less straight side and a gay side, although culturally there is a great deal of interaction.
