Lake Travis, dubbed as the “crown jewel” of Texas Highland Lakes, is unsurprisingly the state’s most popular freshwater holiday destination. Its limestone bottom creates one-of-a-kind crystal clear blue waters that appeal to thousands of tourists and nature lovers. Many parks and recreation centers surround this reservoir such as Lake Travis Zipline Adventures. At this park, you will find five ziplines, including the longest and fastest one in Texas, which measures over 853.44 m (2,800 ft). Meanwhile, Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures offers over 20 obstacles, including balance beams, climbing walls, and monkey bars. With all the activities you can do in the area, it is only fitting to retire comfortably at the end of the day. Treat yourself to top-notch accommodations and check out the top luxury cabins near Lake Travis, Texas, below.
What to look forward to:
- Around 38 mi (61.16 km) from the lake, Spider Mountain Bike Park is an excellent spot for an outing. It boasts the state's first and only lift-served mountain bike park, and the only lift-served, year-round mountain bike park in the country, along with multiple lovely trails.
- Lovers of the arts should stop by Lake Travis Music Theatre, where they can watch incredible performances by Texan artists.
