History
Lake Austin was formed by damming the Colorado River; the Pennybacker Bridge (Loop 360) opened in 1982 and quickly became a local landmark framing the lake.
Conservation
Boat operators follow lake rules to limit shoreline erosion and wake damage; rinse gear to avoid spreading invasive species like hydrilla and pack out all trash.
