    Beautiful, pristine lake on the Highland lakes chain.

    Great for any outdoor activity. Great boating, fishing, swimming, skiing, wake boarding, tubing and whatever else to enjoy. The water is pristine and the cleanest in the Highland Lakes chain.

    Great fishing and family fun

    We love being on the lake. Especially during this winter we have had such fantastic weather we got out as often as possible. Probably go out this weekend since the rain stopped.

    Well worth the drive from Austin!

    It's not actually too far...unless you get stuck in traffic on RM 2222; but the drive to the lake is very scenic. Any of the overlooks above Lake Travis will astound you at its size & beauty. Whether it be at "high water" or "low...More
