About
Colorado River Alliance and Travis County Parks are excited to host the 29th annual Lake Travis Cleanup on Sunday, September 17th, from 9 a.m. to 11a.m. This year, the event will take place at more than seven Travis County Parks surrounding Lake Travis as well as dive sites and shoreline neighborhoods. Please join us as we work safely together to remove trash from the shoreline and Travis County Parks around the lake that feed into the Texas Colorado River Basin.
