Lago Vista Travel Guide

Nearby: Marble Falls

Lago Vista lies on the north shore of Lake Travis along RM 1431. With a name that translates as "Lake View," it's no surprise that many homes in this small community have views of Lake Travis.

Lago Vista is called the gateway to the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, a preserve that protects two endangered species. Along with hikes and birding at the refuge, nature buffs also find many opportunities at Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) parks in the region.
