It’s officially HOT!
The Texas summer arrived this week and now it’s a good time to find your places to escape the heat. We had a nice break while it lasted, but it’s looking like the Lake Travis area is going to be in a high pressure hot-zone for a while.
Maybe that is why everybody decided to get out of town.
The Fourth of July weekend is the start of summer travel for many and that sure seems to be true. You may have noticed that your Facebook feed is filled with friends and family taking pictures of summer vacations from all over the globe — from the Texas beaches to Italy!
Here at Lake Travis Lifestyle, we know of a few places you can go to stay cool when it heats up.
Check out 5 Lake Travis Area Swimming Spots or head to the big city for a dip at Barton Springs Pool.
Spend a simple day at your neighborhood pool or venture out to the Lakeway Swim Center, Emma Long Metropolitan Park on Lake Austin, Mansfield Dam Park on Lake Travis, Pace Bend Park and Low Water Crossing.
When the day is over go find some shade with a cool drink and live music on your favorite Lake Travis area patio.
Here is your Lake Travis area weekend roundup filled with places to go and people to see. As always, thank you for supporting our local businesses, events and live music scene — Live Local!
