Andres E. • January 28, 2017It's a wonderful site to run, hammock, or kayak during the summer! The winters tend to be quieter, which can be great.
Qtbloom • March 31, 2013Fan~freaggin~tastic, great rates, friendly and helpful staff, as well as a fun lake to row/kayak in.
Social N. • November 25, 2012Right before you hit the bridge, there's an area for off-road parking. Park, climb up the semi-hidden trail, and enjoy the magnificent view of the lake in the day, the sunset, or stars at night.
Spicey • December 7, 2015The atmosphere, the water, the ducks, walking/jogging trail, food trucks, areas to sit down and have a picnic, or sit & enjoy the scenery
Adam S. • August 25, 2014Home to the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce festival that occurs in August every year. A time to try out the hottest peppers and sauces from local and national producers in the Texas heat! Feel the burn!!!
Alicia J. • May 2, 2010If you walk to the left for about 10-15 minutes, there's a huge tall flat(ish) rock that's perfect for sunbathing, reading, or picnics.
Kelly G. • June 16, 2010Perfect shaded spot for the dog to swim. The hole in the boat ramp was fixed. Yipee!
Phani K. • March 15, 2012A spell bounding view of the lake and nature, scenic drive and scenic views. Romantic as well.
exfm • February 23, 2012A great little park by the lake to kick back and relax at especially when SXSW gets to overwhelming.
Austin Chronicle • March 12, 2013Symphonies in the park. Phenomenal SXSW line-ups. Bats at dusk. Pups diving into nearby Town Lake. Best yet: The town's best free entertainment venue boasts the Austin skyline as backdrop.
Social N. • June 29, 2012Beautiful Park....try canoeing on the lake it's loads of fun. Make sure you bring cash and wear a swimsuit.
Austin American-Statesman • February 8, 2012Austin's largest city-owned park has a leash-free area between City Park Road, the west park boundary fence, Turkey Creek and the top ridge of the bluff line overlooking Lake Austin.
Shelly T. • November 17, 2013Have a picnic or bring a blanket to read on. It's also a great place to go running if you want a change from town lake trail!
Austin American-Statesman • February 8, 2012Loose dogs compete with runners and loungers. It’s great for a splash in the lake, and it's leash-free from South First Street to Bouldin Avenue.
Marwan M. • September 24, 2018Amazing park .. clean restrooms .. designated space for each reservation .. be aware of the snakes in the lake ..
Mel S. • May 23, 2012quite, peaceful, right on the lake! its beautiful! the desserts are delicious too!
John B. • March 6, 2012The running trail along Lady Bird Lake is gorgeous and a perfect way to squeeze in some exercise amidst the beers, BBQ and tacos.
Adolfo C. • March 18, 2011The "gay side" of the lake is the last set of stairs down the trail, then cafefully walk around the lower trail by the rocks. When you pass the trash cans you are there.
Shelley M. • March 25, 2010After 2 yrs or so the lake is 100% full. Aquapaloza is also happening this summer
Araceli V. • June 23, 2018Great place for a jog! Lots of scenic views of the lake. Lots of spots to exercise or just meditate. Access from north or south or downtown Austin. Trail runs from Mopac through pleasant valley.
Kinsey V. • July 25, 2013Best lake in Austin, hands down. But also best for boarding and freezing your tush off!
Social N. • December 5, 2013A great way to experience Lady Bird Lake, but be prepared to get wet if you choose a kayak over the canoe. Bring a ziplock bag to put your phone in if you want it to work after you reach the shore.
Liz R. • July 4, 2015Cheaper than other kayak rentals and they have singles/doubles. Beautiful way to be active and see Austin along the river (not sure why natives call it a lake)
