About this site
Lake Travis, Austin is a Highland Lakes reservoir near Austin in Texas, with clearer water than most lakes in the state. The underwater landscape includes cliff faces and rocky drop-offs, and depth varies by site, going beyond recreational limits in some areas.
On good days visibility reaches 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 metres), with the clearest conditions most common in late summer and fall. There are several dive access points, some reachable from shore and others more convenient by boat.
A section of flooded land holds submerged structures from before the lake was filled, and divers can explore the remnants of the old Lago Vista area.
