Lake Austin was created in 1939 when the Tom Miller Dam was constructed on the Colorado River by the Lower Colorado River Authority. It winds its ways through the limestone hills west of Austin proper for 20.6 miles to the Mansfield Dam which formed Lake Travis. At its deepest point it is 75 feet. It is home to largemouth bass and, as legend goes, catfish as big as a man. Click map to enlarge. Map courtesy of USGS.
