Dangers of Lake Travis | 5/2017 

I almost drowned in lake travis after I jumped in . It felt like I weighed more than usual in water. Something weird about that lake.

When I was fishing in the early 90s off a Marina I hooked something and it shot out to the middle of the lake faster than anything I've ever come across. I was holding on for the with all my strength while calling for help. It was going to pull me in the lake I had to lay on the ground and it was pulling me over the edge with my arms straight out. It gave no ground at all just a constant unending pull and finally broke my line. There is something in that lake and it isn't a fish.

Zero visibility? Have they dove in other lakes in texas??

This is what you're gonna have with EVERY, SINGLE, LAKE, Lake Travis is no different from the others. I bet out of all the lakes in the world this has happened atleast once.

whos here after learning about a few Trump boats sinking at Lake Travis?

It is alligators. They are in all Texas lakes despite what the "park rangers" say.

I live in Arlington. Swimming has been banned for years. The reason? Officially " muddy drop offs and holes" . Well duh, its a Texas lake. The reason is swimmers who cannot swim do so without flotation. Being close to the city it attracts people who would not normally drive far go to a lake. People used to swimming in a clear swimming pool.

Suspicious that the other video has blocked being able to type down comments 😑

Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other

Murky water ? Well yeah, its a Texas lake. Duh.

Dumps. We humans treat our lakes like dumps.

Cliff diving? Where are the cliffs. Very sad

I went scuba diving in travis and it's not that bas.

weird lake

I sure hope the government does the right thing and bans all swimming, boating and overall fun in Lake Travis. I need the government to continue to put our safety over our freedom because we are stupid creatures that are incapable of caring for ourselves. Thank you government!

Look up Lake Powell. It's way worse than this. By the way, Cliff Jumping is illegal. Unless that's just in Utah.

I have seen so many children without life vests they last few years. BTW, Is the staff at the Oasis supposed to wear face masks?

Don’t forget you cut the crap out of your hands and feet on Zebra Mussles.

There's going to be some new sunken boats to dive to after today. HAHAHHAHAHA.

We were warned

If can't swim wtf are you doing in lake, people really stupod

My dad having a house on the lake:
