| Description | Lake Travis can be a wild and woolly lake. Like Lake Austin, it's one of six reservoirs in the Highland Lakes chain. At the west end of the lake, you'll find Max Starcke Dam. At the east end of the lake, you'll find Mansfield Dam. It's home to countless motor boats, personal watercraft, and sailboats. The lake is suitable for longer recreational, touring, and sea kayaks. Of course, you could always hop on a sit-on-top or in a recreational boat and paddle in the coves. |
