Lake Travis Level (Vacation) - Austin, Texas

I've been thinking about taking my wife up to Lake Travis for a few days and renting a nice secluded place on the lake with waterfront access.

However, with the lake level being EXTREMELY low, how does that affect homes with lake-front access? It's not worth plunking down a few hundred a night if we can't jump off a private dock or beach and swim.

I would ask, I know the entire lake is suffering though. Any where will probably include a walk.

Have you tried local rivers?

some peoples dock's are moveable and are still in the water, others, not so much.

Worth asking

I honestly think you would be better off finding a house rental on the Guadalupe. With Travis being 42 feet below normal and dropping almost 1/2' daily, I wouldn't bet on finding anywhere to stay that I would consider 'lake-front'. Just my .02.
