Hey there, Lake Travis! It’s the start of the 4th of July holiday and that also means it’s the start of a 3-day weekend.

Let’s celebrate our beloved country’s independence LT style. Kick off your weekend with some live music on Friday night, cooling down with your favorite beverage and a sunset over Lake Travis. But don’t stay out too late!

The 4th of July events start up early on Saturday morning with runs, neighborhood parades, car shows and plenty of family-friendly activities that will last throughout the day. The night sky will be here before you know it … and that means fireworks! You just have to decide where you’re going to watch them this year.

Lake Travis Lifestyle has put together the Top Picks for Celebrating July 4th in Lake Travis & Beyond.

If you drink too much this weekend, be sure to keep your car keys in your pocket and pull up the Uber app. Uber is offering free rides in the Lake Travis area all weekend long. Enter the LAKEATX20 promo code for your free ride (up to $20).

Happy Independence Day and enjoy your weekend!

Is it just knowing that you have a couple of days off to relax? Sleep in?

Going out to eat? Your favorite patio with a cold drink and live music?

Spending a day on the lake? Relaxing by the pool?

Having a date night in the big city?

These are just a few a the reasons to love the Lake Travis Lifestyle. You can do any or all of these this weekend!

We’ve had another week of soakers! And with the moisture that has been coming out of the Gulf, it’s feeling as humid as Houston around here!

Somehow, Tropical Storm Bill skirted around us and drenched everything just east of the Lake Travis area before it headed up to Dallas.

With some torrential downpours over the lake on Thursday afternoon, water is still flowing in and as of this Friday morning, Lake Travis is just shy of 670′ — 11 feet to full.

12 out of 13 public boat ramps on Lake Travis are open and most of Sometimes Island is underwater … but just under — so be careful if you’re taking dad out on the boat this weekend and navigating around the main basin. Word on the lake is that there’s still some debris floating around too.

You might remember back to April 1st when we announced that an iceberg would be arriving in Lake Travis by early June to fill up the lake.

Well, that didn’t really work out.

By the time the iceberg had reached the Gulf of Mexico, it was a lot smaller than expected.

But that’s okay — the month of May turned out to be one of the wettest on record. The predictions that El Niño would hit this spring were spot on.
