  • The Water Level of Lake Travis As a Response to Precipitation In
    Zack Collins 4/30/2014 The Water Level of Lake Travis as a Response to Precipitation in Central Texas, 2003-2013 Introduction and Problem The purpose of this project is to explore how closely related the water level in Lake Travis is to the total precipitation of the area. How does the level of Lake Travis respond to increases and decreases in annual precipitation? How quickly will Lake Travis respond to the abundance or absence of water? Data Collection 1. Precipitation data requested from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ Travis county data was chosen to represent immediate rainfall close to the lake. Rainfall totals in the watershed areas are taken to mirror average rainfall numbers for the total state because the watershed areas are composed of 20+ counties. 2. Texas-wide precipitation map also obtained from NOAA website. The precipitation data in the state wide map is composed of data from 1960-1991. 3. Shape files for all counties, major water systems, and roads come from the Texas Tech University Center for Geospatial Technology website: http://www.gis.ttu.edu/center/DataCatalog/Download.php?County=Kimble 4. Orthophotos of Travis County and Lake Travis come from the Texas Natural Resources Information System website: http://www.tnris.org/get-data?quicktabs_maps_data=1 1 Zack Collins 4/30/2014 5. GIS data for the individual watershed areas for the Highland Lakes chain was not readily available or simply not found. The watershed areas were based upon PDF maps obtained from the Lower Colorado River Authority website: http://maps.lcra.org/default.aspx?MapType=Watershed+Maps Figures 1, 2, and 3.

  • Inks Lake State Park Hiking Trail Guide for Pecan Flats Developed by Sarah Fryar in 2005
    INKS LAKE STATE PARK HIKING TRAIL GUIDE FOR Pecan Flats ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This trail guide was developed as a class project by the 2013 class of the Highland Lakes Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist program. We want to express our appreciation to the many individuals and organizations that made this project possible. First, we thank the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for creating the Texas Master Naturalist program. This project would not have been possible without the support of the staff of Inks Lake State Park including Terry Rodgers, Sean Jones, Terry Young, and many other staff members who contributed their help and expertise throughout the project. We appreciate the financial support provided by the Highland Lakes Master Naturalist Chapter, Linda O’Nan, President, and the Friends of Inks Lake State Park, Craig Davidson, President. This project builds on a previous interpretive guide titled Inks Lake State Park Hiking Trail Guide for Pecan Flats developed by Sarah Fryar in 2005. We offer a special note of appreciation to Betty Cruikshank, the coordinator extraordinaire of the 2013 Highland Lakes Master Naturalist class; Jerry Stacy, who personifies the ideal of the Texas Master Naturalist; and the many other Master Naturalists who contributed to the Highland Lakes Master Naturalist class of 2013. Thank you. Photographs by Susan Downey INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Inks Lake State Park Pecan Flats Trail! This guide is coordinated with numbered sign posts along the trail through the Pecan Flats primitive camping area. From the trailhead near the Park Headquarters (located at the entrance station), the trail winds for three miles through cedar, pecan and hardwood forests, along riparian and upland natural areas and up to scenic viewpoints over Inks Lake and adjoining landmarks.

The town of Burnet grew up around Fort Croghan in the mid 1800's. The County of Burnet was formed in December of 1851 and the City of Burnet (then called Hamilton) was named as the county seat.

The guidelines were designed to help dock owners, builders and buyers avoid some problems and situations associated with owning a residential dock on the Highland Lakes. By preventing future problems through compliance with both the mandatory standards and dock safety guidelines, dock owners can help provide a safer and cleaner environment for everyone who wants to enjoy the stark beauty and endless recreational opportunities the Highland Lakes afford.

  • They Made a Good Start
    They Made a Good Start The picture is of a culvert, of the trademark CCC design, in Inks Lake State Park. This is just one example of their handiwork that is still in place and in use in the park today. They did not get to complete the building of Inks Lake State Park but they made a good start --- a war interrupted their work. The project was put on hold as the soldiers, many of whom were these same CCC workers here at Inks Lake, went off to World War II. But during the brief time they were there they constructed a road system with dozens of stone culverts and a boathouse. The CCC workers from Company 854 came to Inks Lake from the Longhorn Caverns restoration work – SP-#35. I’ll bet they felt they had died and gone on to Heaven when they got to this duty station. The “nature” of the work in Longhorn Caverns, according to the tour guide on my visit there, was as follows: “They removed 2.5 million cubic yards of rock debris and soil that had washed into the caverns over the years. Also there were large bat guano deposits present that had to be removed. In this removal work the tools used were pick, shovel and wheel borrow. Since there was no electricity available for lighting, all of this work was conducted by the light of kerosene lanterns”. Inks Lake is one in the Highlands Lakes Chain on the Colorado River. This is Texas’ own Colorado River --- not the one that goes through the Grand Canyon and into the Gulf of California.
