Access to Lake Travis Can Be Challenging

If you have been on a boat on Lake Travis and cruised by the town of Briarcliff, you know how challenging it can be to get to the water from a waterfront house. Some Lake Travis properties are gently sloping to the water and others are not. As you will see below, pictures really do tell the story.

As you can see, people get pretty creative when installing stairs to the water. Some homes will have a straight drop to the lake and will have stairs bolted to the cliff. Some will be a combination and others will go over a series of boulders. These stairs will have sections of removable rails so when the water rises the rails can be removed so the docks and boats don't hit them. As the water drops, the rails are installed again.
