Lady Bird Lake in Austin has been off-limits to swimmers since 1964 due to environmental dangers caused by urban development and water quality concerns. The region's high rainfall rates and steep terrain make it susceptible to fast-moving waters during heavy rains, which can lead to pollutants like dirt, poop, oils, and fertilizers entering the lake. Floodwater can also contain hazardous waste and contaminants that can cause skin irritation and gastrointestinal illness. Additionally, the lake's strong currents pose a safety hazard for swimmers. While the water quality meets state standards, swimming is still banned, and violators can be fined up to $500. Reversing the ban would require a coordinated effort involving multiple departments and groups.
