    Great 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.

    The Boardwalk Trail at Lady Bird Lake will connect the current end of the trail by the Austin American Statesman Building to Lakeshore Park, closing the southeastern gap of the hike and bike trail.

    The recent opening of the Boardwalk provides a continual connection of Austin’s beloved trail over the lake, not to mention spectacular views of the skyline. Read more

    I like this place. They have a nice view and good walking trails. It is easily accessible. However, they shoukd install benches for the elderly.

    Whether running, biking, or just out for a casual stroll, the Boardwalk offers some of the best Austin skyline.

    If you start at the beginning off Lakeshore, cross the lake at the Congress Bridge, and come back across at the I-35 bridge, you'll have around a 4-mile loop.

    Stunning views of downtown while you exercise. A great place to walk, run or bike.

    What's not to love? Beautiful scenery, a nice long path, clean, and full of fellow austinites enjoying the weather.

    Access near Joe's Crab Shack has no signage. It's on Riverside between Joe's and Alameda Dr.!

    Great walking/running trail with beautiful scenery. It's not very well lit after dark.
