Just four of the 13 boat ramps on Lake Travis remained open as the water level fell, due to drought. The lake was slightly above 645 feet above mean sea level. The ramps that were still in use included Mansfield Dam, Bob Wentz at Windy Point, Tournament Point at Pace Bend, and Sandy Creek. The Mansfield Dam boat ramp can stay open until the lake is at 633 feet.
The parks manager urged people to pray for rain.
