Lake conditions are looking good this month! The water at Travis Landing is clear and dissolved oxygen levels have improved dramatically since the last tests in May, up from 4 milligrams per liter to 7.5 milligrams per liter. LCRA reports that none of the SPATT bags, including the one nearest to us at Arkansas Bend Park, have shown any traces of cyanotoxins over the past month. However, our LCRA biologist still advises watching out for patches of algae along the shore and in shallow water. Historically, warm water triggers algae growth and the production of toxins.

 

Here is a summary of the most recent Travis Landing results collected by John Anderson for the Colorado River Watch Network. To see historic data going back to May 2021, go to the LCRA Site List and the entry for Site 463 (Travis Landing), located in segment 1404.
