Unbeknown to many Lake Travis visitors, hundreds of feet under where they swim and boat are some of the remnants of the plant that helped construct the lake. The Shaker Plant, which is about 100 to 150 feet under water when the lake is full, was built in the late 1930s to assist in the construction of Mansfield Dam.
