Fall is one of the best times of the year to experience Lake Travis. Cooler temperatures, changing foliage, fewer crowds, and stunning Texas Hill Country sunsets make autumn a favorite season for both visitors and local boaters. This is but one of the many reasons our wet slips are so popular. Northshore Marina is the premier location to take advantage of all the family fun this Fall on Lake Travis. Just take a look at this great line-up!
Cruise Lake Travis
Sometimes the best fall activity is simply spending a day on the lake. Comfortable temperatures make boating especially enjoyable this time of year, whether you’re cruising the shoreline, anchoring in a quiet cove, fishing, or enjoying lunch on the water.
Northshore Marina’s wet slips provide convenient access to Lake Travis throughout the boating season.
Visit Austin City Limits Music Festival
Every October, Austin hosts the world-famous Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park. The two-weekend festival features dozens of nationally recognized artists, local food vendors, art installations, and activities for families.
Even if you’re staying on Lake Travis, ACL makes for an easy day trip into downtown Austin.
Explore a local pumpkin patch
Central Texas comes alive with pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hayrides, and fall festivals throughout October. Families can spend an afternoon picking pumpkins, meeting farm animals, navigating corn mazes, and enjoying seasonal treats before returning to the lake for a relaxing evening. Pumpkin patches right near us here at Lake Travis include Farmer Dave’s in Spicewood and the annual Texas Pumpkin Fest in Leander.
Soar above Lake Travis
Lake Travis Zipline Adventures remains one of the area’s most popular attractions. Multiple zip lines carry guests high above limestone cliffs and scenic coves, offering unforgettable views of the lake and surrounding Hill Country.
The cooler temperatures of fall make the hike between zip lines much more comfortable than during the summer months.
Tour the Texas Hill Country wineries
Autumn is an excellent time to explore the wineries scattered throughout Texas Hill Country. Many local vineyards host seasonal tastings, live music, food pairings, and harvest celebrations that make for a memorable afternoon away from the water.
Experience Formula 1 at Circuit of the Americas
Each fall, Formula 1 returns to Austin for the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas. Race weekends bring world-class motorsports, concerts, and entertainment that draw visitors from around the globe.
It’s one of Austin’s signature annual events and pairs perfectly with a relaxing weekend on Lake Travis.
Enjoy the fall colors by boat
As the summer crowds begin to fade, fall becomes one of the most peaceful times to boat on Lake Travis. Calm mornings, crisp evenings, and vibrant Hill Country scenery create the perfect backdrop for family outings, fishing trips, or sunset cruises.
