Divers from across the state come to Lake Travis for their open-water checkouts and to enjoy the beauty of this Hill Country lake. The two most popular dive spots are the LCRA Park at Mansfield Dam and the cliffs at Windy Point. Another dive site accessible by land is Tom Hughes Park which has some interesting overhangs to explore but requires hiking down a hill to get your gear to the water. Check out lake Travis
