The annual Lake Travis Underwater Cleanup is the BIGGEST scuba diving and shoreline cleanup in Texas. The event invites several hundred certified scuba divers and shoreline volunteers from Falcon Pointe to Rob Roy to help round-up trash from the bottom of Lake Travis and 11 Travis County Parks around the lake! The cleanup is followed by a volunteer thank-you party, and is a wonderful event for ALL ages! RAIN OR SHINE!
