The LCRA has reopened Lake Travis after about 18 days of being closed.  The lake was closed after heavy rain in the watershed flooded the lake with a lot of debris that was carried in by flood waters.  Lake Travis also had a higher than desired bacteria count after the flooding.  Most of the debris has probably ended up on what is once again dry land, but boaters need to remain aware.  What may look like a small stick may actually be a branch on a floating tree.  Just because Lake Travis is open doesn't mean that it is safe, so be careful out there.
