Barton Creek Greenbelt

This greenbelt winds through Central and South Austin along the picturesque Barton Creek, featuring beautiful hiking and bike trails as well as many choice swimming holes. The surroundings have been left to flourish in their natural manner, featuring great limestone cliffs, shallow lagoons, and dense forests. One of the more popular areas is at the far north end of the park, called the Scottish Woods Trails. It is a rocky path leading to a gorgeous private swimming hole at the base of a small waterfall. Barton Creek Greenbelt runs west and north from Zilker Park for nearly eight miles (12.8 kilometers).

Live Love Paddle

Want to see the Austin Congress Bridge bats up close? Take a tour with Live Love Paddle, a kayak tour where your guide will lead close to the bridge so you can watch as the bats wake up and fly away as the sun begins to set. If you don't want to see the bats, Live Love Paddle has other great tours. Take the Urban Kayaking Tour of Downtown Austin to explore the city in a new way or just paddle around Lady Bird Lake.

Lady Bird Lake

A reservoir on the Colorado River, Lady Bird Lake lies nestled in startling contrast with the cosmopolitan buildings that fringe it. Originally known as 'Town Lake', it was created in 1960 to serve as a cooling pond for a power plant. When the plant fell into disuse in 2007, the lake was given the name Lady Bird Lake. Its glassy waters are now a wonderland for recreation. Lady Bird Lake is skirted by lush, emerald groves, winding trails, the sprawling Zilker Park, and the rejuvenating Barton Springs. The lake enables an array of exhilarating activities like kayaking, canoeing, rowing, paddle boarding, and fishing. Lady Bird Lake has been host to a string of sporting events, while its bank is popular for musical performances.

They also have several picnic areas, where you can enjoy a delicious meal when all the swimming makes you hungry. Or go with your friends, and enjoy a game of volleyball. The park has several areas that can be booked for birthday parties and other events.

Bring the family during the summer to take a dip in the public pool. For a memorable day date bring a picnic and have lunch beside the water.

Lake Austin

A reservoir in the Colorado River, Lake Austin is an ideal recreation spot. When the Tom Miller Dam was constructed in 1939, this reservoir was created. Though it serves a practical purpose like generation of electricity and flood control, it is also a popular attraction in the city. You will find many restaurants nearby, and the park along its banks offers fun activities such as canoeing. Lake Austin works for those who just feel like taking a walk, those who are looking to get their exercise for the day, those who feel like chatting with others, or just those who want a bit of peace.
