Located in the Northwest area of Austin, the 18,929 acre Lake Travis is the perfect vacation destination as well as the ideal place to own a home. Offering superbly clear waters, the lake is also a favorite for scuba divers interested in exploring lake depths and experiencing wonderful encounters with sea life. Divers also delight in the great depths within the lake, with the average depth being 62 feet and the maximum reaching 210 feet in certain areas.

Unlike the consistently cool Lake Austin located on the West side of the city, Lake Travis waters can get to be quite warm. In fact, during the summer, the water can easily reach into the mid-80s. The warm waters make Lake Travis a great spot for enjoying water sports, while the length of the Lake makes it possible to offer a great number of bars, restaurants, and marinas on its shores – all of which can be reached by boat. In fact, there is a total of 270 miles of shoreline stretching around the lake, which means there is plenty of room from homes as well as entertainment.

One of the characteristics of Lake Travis that is particularly alluring is the fact that it is located in hill country. Therefore, in addition to enjoying the lake scenery, the views of the hills around Lake Travis are truly breathtaking. In addition, the area offers a very exciting nightlife scene, making it the perfect combination of natural beauty, recreational activities and sports, and manmade fun!
