So that leaves about ___ ___ feet of water in Lake Buchanan and about ___ ___ feet in Lake Travis.

http://www.lcra.org will tell you all you ever wanted to know about our Highland Lakes.

Lake Buchanan is down 20 feet (which is really bad 'cause it's more shallow than Travis) and Lake Travis is down 30 feet.

Travis is up about 3 ft with the recent rain. Still a long way to go.

Actually took the boat out on Sunday before the rain and put 2 hours on it. Water was 61 degrees and that didn't stop the boys from their first tubing of the season. Boat ran great with 10 people onboard. It handled the afternoon chop and wind extremely well. Only issue was docking in heavy wind. It's a bear compared to my previous bravo 3 I/O. It's going to be a fun summer. Sure am glad Lake LBJ is constant level !

It's raining in the wrong place. We need a foot of rain in Brownwood TX and all the lakes will be full.

i know they are so low right now but man can you believe this weather. looks like levels will be going up. hopefully enough to fill up and get us out of burn bans.

lake travis is nice but it gets choppy and you have to worry about huge boats speeding around all drunken. i personally would buy a house on one of these places. the pedernales(the perd) river is awesome, it's north of lake travis and is one of the main if not the main feeder to it. it is beautiful but the water level drops dramatically in dry times here. the lake my parents live nearby is north of austin, lake georgetown, awesome place! great lake for riding but currently the water level is so low that you can't use the docks on its way up though. georgetown is a rural town thats just been blowing up lately. apx 15-20 min. drive to austin or less. however, you can only live close to the lake, not on it in georgetown. the grandaddy of all wakeboard lakes here though is by far lake austin(my top pick for a new lake home). it literally goes from the dam at lake travis into downtown austin. miles of butter. stays at a constant 67 or so degrees all year round because travis dumps into it to keep it constant level. it is actually #2 best wakeboard river in america according to this month's issue (vol. 15 issue 3) of wakeboarding magazine. the 1st place went to the delta in cali of course. then a hop skip away is Texas Ski Ranch that cable complex. 45 min. south of austin. they are hosting the byerly toe jam this year supposedly. which is huge for them. we also have some great people here and the town is really great about wakeboarding and watersports of all kinds. in april under360 wake club is hosting another rail jam in downtown austin. its pretty amazing. check us out. the fam. would love this place.

Lately, we've been out on Lake Austin quite a bit and that will likely continue given current lake levels.
