As the lake level falls, our peninsula grows and, unfortunately,  so does the algae surrounding it. LCRA has not detected any toxins in the SPATT bags located offshore around Lake Travis but advises caution in shallow areas with algal growth. Dogs are safest swimming in deeper water but even so, owners should rinse them off with fresh water afterwards. LCRA has no plans to test algae for toxins and John Anderson is unable to carry this out because there are no test strips available for dihydroanatoxin-a, the cyanotoxin most often found along our shoreline.

 

Here is the latest summary of Travis Landing results collected by John 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.
