Written by Cathy Hale | October 17, 2018

Historic flooding has hit the Texas Hill Country, and it’s a wild ride.

First thing’s first, Lake Travis was officially 100% full as of yesterday. Now it’s just flooded.

In case you missed the blow-by-blow flood details, we’ve got it all wrapped up for you today. Of course, safety is paramount, so no matter what you do, don’t go for a joy ride in the lake. LCRA officially closed The Highland Lakes on October 16, 2018. It’s is seriously dangerous, friends.

How low will Lake Travis go?

With temperatures reaching a record-smashing 110 degrees on Monday, summertime in Texas is causing chaos. The state’s electrical grids are maxing out, animal shelters are in dire need of help, and the well-known Cavender’s Boot City sign (on Lamar Blvd.) burst into flames.

Closer to home, you have been watching our beloved Lake Travis disappear at a rapid rate (some of it due to evaporation). According to the LCRA, Lake Travis is currently 66% full (as of July 25, 2018). More alarming is the storage projection for Lake Travis through January 2019. Let’s say; it’s bleak.

Get ready to go big and get wet, Lake Travis. There’s a new floating aqua park headed your way, and it looks incredible. Go ahead and add it to your 30 Fun Things To Do This Summer list.

The eastern shores of Lake Travis are prepping to add yet another outdoor activity option in the form of a beautiful water park playground called Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures. It’s the brainchild of the owners of Lake Travis Zipline Adventures, Brian George, and John Shipley.

If you’ve ever been to Tulum, this new aqua park is reminiscent of parts of Xel-Ha Park minus the copious amounts of tropical fish. Or, Jurassic World-ish minus the dinosaurs. In other words, based on the natural surrounding and hillside views, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into an exotic location far from the hustle and bustle on 620.
