Lake Austin is a constant-level reservoir located just west of downtown Austin, offering a unique blend of natural Hill Country beauty and urban accessibility. Created in 1939 with the construction of Tom Miller Dam, the lake spans approximately 1,600 acres and stretches about 21 miles along the Colorado River.
Flowing through some of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods—including Tarrytown, Westlake, and Steiner Ranch—Lake Austin is known for its scenic limestone cliffs, tree-lined shores, and iconic waterfront estates. Its stable water levels make it ideal for boating, paddleboarding, fishing, and year-round recreation.
As one of the most sought-after waterfront locations in Central Texas, Lake Austin offers a rare combination of proximity to downtown Austin, established luxury communities, and a vibrant lake lifestyle.
