What is hydrilla and why is it a problem on Lake Austin?
Hydrilla is a fast-spreading invasive aquatic plant that thrives in Lake Austin's shallow, sunlit shelves near docks and shorelines. It tangles props and lower units, blocks swim areas, and regrows quickly once cut or treated unless the lake floor itself is covered.
Do I need a permit to control hydrilla on Lake Austin?
Yes. Removing or controlling hydrilla in Texas public waters, including installing bottom barriers, requires Texas Parks and Wildlife Department approval. Lake Floor Austin prepares and files the paperwork as part of every project. See our permit guide.
