The water spilling out of a partially open gate is white instead of green.

  1. It's amazing how engineering from the 1940s is still doing its job today! The Tom Miller Dam and Lake Austin remain impressive landmarks, and seeing the water pouring through the partially opened gates is strangely satisfying. The bright white water comes from all the air mixed into the flow, creating that powerful foamy effect instead of the usual green color. Definitely one of those places that makes you stop and watch for a while. And if you're looking for a bit of entertainment after exploring cool places like this, take a look at https://slotas.org/
