A five-mile section of Lake Travis that had been closed because of the Central Texas Wildfires has been re-opened for now, said the Lower Colorado River Authority.
LCRA also said three LCRA parks and nature centers in Bastrop County are still closed and will remain closed through the weekend. Impacted parks include McKinney Roughs Park and nature center, as well as the North and South Shore parks.
The parks themselves have not been damaged by fire but utility infrastructure in the parks was affected, said LCRA. In addition, the threat for more wildfires remains.
LCRA says they will close that portion of Lake Travis again if the Forest Service determines that it needs to take more water from the lake.
