Lake Travis was created with the building of Mansfield Dam from 1937-1941, named after the Texas Congressman of 32 years. The dam was built and is maintained with money it makes from its sales of water and electricity. Currently, Lake Travis is Central Texas’ favorite spot for water recreation including boating, fishing, and even scuba diving, as well as hosting state parks, golf courses and many residential communities.
