Lake Travis Area Back To School Traffic: Are You Ready?

Written by Todd Hower | August 24, 2015

It’s the first day of school in the Lake Travis area!

A lot has happened over the summer. You might be one of the many people that made a move and now call the Lake Travis area home. A beautiful place to live and the ability to find a job is a good thing … the back to school traffic is not.

The Austin Independent School District, University of Texas, and Leander ISD, all make the list for the largest major employers in Austin, Texas. Seasonal Employees heading back to work with the start of the school year, parents dropping off their kids, and high school students that drive, will add to the amount of cars on the roads in the area.

Hot Air Balloons Over Lake Travis

Written by Todd Hower | August 7, 2015

You’ll want to set your alarm clock extra early this Saturday for the chance to see a sky full of color over Lake Travis — it’s the 25th Annual Lake Travis Flight.

The Central Texas Ballooning Association plans to launch hot air balloons at sunrise (approximately 6:45am — weather conditions permitting) from Mansfield Dam Park. Allow yourself enough time to grab some donuts, find a parking spot, and check out all the pre-flight sights and sounds.

Lake Travis Area Parks Guide: Reimers Ranch Park

Written by Todd Hower | July 29, 2015

This old ranch is a classic Lake Travis area getaway for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, swimming, and fishing.

Reimers Ranch Park is a combination of pristine parkland, open space and reserve land in western Travis County with almost three miles of continuous frontage along the Pedernales River. With over 2400 acres, it’s almost twice as big as Pace Bend Park and the largest park in Travis County.

Before this land was acquired by Travis County back in 2005, it was owned by Milton and Joy Reimers. The ranch was a popular hunting and rock climbing destination. Travis County Parks has done a really nice job renovating the facilities at the park. There are now flush toilets and covered picnic areas at the climbers trailhead as well as more extensive restroom facilities and outdoor showers at the mountain bike trailhead.

5 Reasons to Retire on Lake Travis

Written by Mandy Spivey | July 16, 2015

It’s no secret that the Lake Travis area is exploding with growth lately.

We have the future development of The Oaks at Lakeway, promising some of the finest in entertainment, shopping, and dining all in one place. North on 620 and all along Highway 71, many neighborhoods are still growing and developing, along with businesses to serve Lake Travis area residents.

With more and more people moving to Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country, it’s tempting to get a taste of what everyone is drinking when they visit the glittering shores of the highland lake.

And it’s not just families making their way out here; just as many people are choosing to retire on Lake Travis and make it their permanent abode on the water. We get to see and enjoy some of the best living around, so we have a pretty good idea of why people would want to get here as fast as they can.
