Another example is the Mansfield Dam on Lake Travis. Austin is a very outdoorsy city with attractions like Zilker park and Barton Springs enjoyed on a daily basis. Barton Springs is the largest natural pool in the US located in an urban area, and the Botanical Gardens is beautiful garden visuals for 30 acres. Preserving rather than modifying popular natural spots is what makes Austin Eco-Friendly.
