## Resource

Lake Travis and the Highland Lakes are looking amazing this summer, with water levels soaring thanks to heavy rains last July and spring runoff—Lake Buchanan up 21 feet, Lake Travis up 30. The boost means more recreation, greener lawns, and lower fire risk, even as officials warn of hidden hazards, debris, and fast-changing conditions. Game wardens are ramping up patrols to keep everyone safe. Visitors are already enjoying more tubing, more space, and better vibes—just remember: stay alert, check the weather, and plan ahead for a fun, safe summer on the water.
