What People Are Saying About Lake Travis
Featured Review

Contributor
In Short – Part of the chain of Highland Lakes on the Colorado River, Lake Travis winds its way northwest through the central Texas Hill Country for more than 60 miles. With clear blue waters, Lake Travis attracts water-sport enthusiasts and vacationers from across the state. Along the lake are marina facilities, numerous public parks, boat-ramp access points and 270 miles of shoreline for family fun. Popular activities include boating, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and fishing.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- For a spectacular sunset overlooking the lake, check out the Oasis.
- Know Before You Go:
- For one of the craziest parties around, take a boat out and join the hundreds of people on Devil's Cove. On any summer long weekend, this is where Austin's party set goes for sun, fun and lots of skin.

Lake Travis is a wonderful place..................
BUT alot of people sure do come up missing there. Alot of "accidents". Just be Careful. Try steering clear of Sandy Creek.

A Day at the Lake is a Good Day
by josh at Citysearch
Amazing that the lake is only 30 minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It's a whole different world. From the clothing-optional relexation of Hippie Hollow to the over-hyped and over-crowded Carlos 'N Charlies, the Lake has something for everyone.
- Pros: fishing, boating, swimming
- Cons: crowds at some parks

Lake Travis is beautiful, whether you're SCUBA diving, sailing, swimming, fishing, boating or just soaking some rays.
