The best way to enjoy Lake Travis is by hopping in a boat and finding a nice, relaxing spot on the water to have fun. From swimming in the lake’s cool waters to enjoying great music, drinks, and conversation on the deck, a boat provides guests with the perfect private venue. You can easily find and rent a party barge on Lake Travis that your group can use for the afternoon.

Lake Travis is also a great spot to sit on the boat deck and fish for largemouth bass. Whether you want to find a quiet place to fish or join the massive party by Devil’s Cove, heading out onto the water is the way to experience Lake Travis.

EXPERIENCE THE SUNSET

If you’re making a day out of visiting Lake Travis, you have to stay for the sunset. There are various places to enjoy a nice sunset in Texas and one of the best, by far, is Lake Travis. Anyone who likes posting pictures on social media will find no shortage of great backdrops in the area, especially when the sun is going down.

Even if you don’t use social media, enjoying a sunset on Lake Travis will be an event you won’t soon forget. Sure, this might all sound like a bit much considering we’re talking about sunsets, but after seeing it for yourself, you’ll understand why it’s such a must-see Lake Travis attraction.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
