I live this place! Bring your kids, bring your dogs, heck, bring your grandparents! There is something for everyone here, and if you come away from here not having had a great time, its your own fault, period.

Sweet place to people watch and stretch post run.

A place to relex. Crystal clear water. You can swim at shallow water. You can take a bike to ride. Also walking and runing. Good view of river and City.

Gorgeous little stop along your route by the river. Great skyline of Austin, amazing crystalline water and you might even see a swan or two! Cannot recommend this place enough for people coming with out of towners. It’s a really easy walk down from the Zilker trail

Can get very busy with joggers and cyclists, would be nice if people could take their litter home rather than throw it over the wall (is it really that difficult?)There are some good views across the river to downtown Austin and some of the bridges.Water fountain is available for you and your pets.

Great spot to walk down and take in a view of Austins downtown skyline. If the weather is nice there will people enjoying the water as well. You can park on Lou Neff Rd. but they charge for parking and I believe its 5.00. We only stayed for about 15 minutes and didnt get a ticket on a Sunday for not paying. You can walk south on the trail just about 50 feet and take your shoes off and let your feet soak in the cool water.

Very scenic. Can get a little dirty because its becoming more known but amazing look over to the skyline of Austin.

Most serene location near Zilker park and often unknown to tourists visiting Austin due to its interior placement.People jog, kayak around the Lou neff point in the evenings and parking is available on either sides of the zilker park.Its very quite location and gives a lot of privacy to enjoy the downtown view.Caution- kindly be advised that the place gets too dark after evenings and would be difficult for newcomers to reach the main road (there are no lights available in pathway to Lou Neff point). Also carry an DSLR to capture beautiful views of downtown Austin

It’s always beautiful and well maintained. Swans and kayaks against the gorgeous Austin skyline. What’s not to love!

First time here and I will say it has a beautiful view of Downtown Austin. I will definitely come to this spot again. I could only imagine the city lights at night.

This is a nice overlook to visit on a stroll around the lake. Complete with an arbour, drinking fountain for humans and furry friends, and views, it is a great spot!

Beautiful view of downtown Austin from this spot! It was a little busy, in general, on the trails, but a very nice walk nonetheless.

A relaxing place with nice views of the hike and bike trail and town lake. What a beautiful point to enjoy the outdoors while taking in the Austin skyline. No scooters on the hike and bike trail! Great place to people watch too! Help keep it clean and let people enjoy this spot.

Beautiful view of the city! Took boyfriend here while showing him Austin (he is from England.) A surprising amount of people here, but not truly crowed.

Take a bike ride or a run around the area then end it here overlooking the gorgeous city of Austin Texas. Smile and laugh with friends as you enjoy the outdoor breeze. A great view and a great time. Have fun!

Nice place to paddle

An incredible location to view the skyline of Austin. And even better? We saw a beautiful swan swimming nearby! The calmness of the water creates a stunning reflection of the high rises as the sun sets. This location is easily accessible via walking or wheels. A nice date spot and tourist attraction.

Love love love this place! Such a beauty that many people dont know about. So peaceful at night and such an amazing spot for a date.

We love this place so much we actually got married here! It is a great little walk to get a killer view of the city.

Had a great time with the grandbaby making it to this point theres definitely a little bit of a hike back so just be prepared amazing views of the river

One of my favorite spots in Zilker

The views and energy from the trail makes running a pastime rather than a workout. I love you Austin ️

Nice point.

It is a beautiful place where nature and city life come together. Very peaceful and colorful

Great view of downtown Austin across Lady Bird Lake. Great for sunrise.

Serene spot to view the river, downtown and the bunch of kayaks coming through. Picturesque

Excellent nighttime views of Austin reflected over the water.I highly recommend coming here after dark for a relaxing, peaceful time by the water.(After Dark) this place is very low traffic, and very quiet. Its probably one of the best (if not the only) place to get a view like this one without any noise or distractions.

Too crowded. Beautiful place but it makes my anxiety go worse

Get out there

Great place for relaxing

One of the must visit spots in Austin. Naturally calm, clean spot. The jogging trail is amazing.

Best park in Austin. Leash free dogs allowed.

It was a beautiful stroll to the point, which overlooks the Colorado and downtown Austin.

Such a beautiful park by day, and an amazing park by night, especially, if a concert is being held there!

Just a scenic spot on Town Lake, a small Pagoda

Excellent view of the Austin Skyline!

Beautiful

Spectacular view. It really is one of the best of the city.

Some of the best views in austin on three levels.....

In summer bring some mosquito repellent. At night you’ll see some rats. It’s the trail! The view from this place is gorgeous. I’ve seen more people hang out here over the years. There is potable water next to the benches. Also seems that every time the Colorado river washes more of the shore leaving less space to walk around. There used to be a nice rock and lots of sand but is gone now. It’s best in winter.

Gorgeous place to relax and its pet friendly!

Beautiful spot to view austin and ladybird lake. Its really gorgeous and easy to get to. Plenty of seating and even a water fountain.

Probably the best spot on the Lady Bird Lake Austin trail to relax and enjoy the spectacular downtown view.

Great view of the river and austin. If you want free parking set your gps to sunken garden springs it will bring you to a park thats just a short and beautiful walk to this outlook. You will also pass the garden spring on your way, which is a cool place to check out anyways

The location is perfect to take photos of Austin’s growth you can see the entire skyline from here, there’s a lot of kayakers too. Great place for some great shots. Beautiful vantage point of the city.

Very nice area to go relax terrible parking though

Very nice view of city and Lake of Austin!

Barton creek and springs is a beautiful area along the shoreline of Lady Bird lake in Austin. It’s not a far walk from downtown and over the pedestrian bridge, and even faster when on a run or bike. It’s a perfect area for a nice reflective walk or a run with great scenery. It feels very secluded with lots of vegetation and picturesque water and bridges. Then when you turn the corner, you get a lovely view of the downtown skyline of Austin. It’s super popular with dog walkers and moms with strollers, so it may be a bit crowded for a fast paced run, but for a nice addition of scenery to a run, it’s perfect.

Wonderful beautiful spot to swim and canoe. Pet friendly and can the view be beat? I dont think so.

Nice quiet spot. Perfect spot for a selfie with the Creek and the Skyline

Good fish spot on the river! Damns dont make it a lake.

Beautiful view in a nice serene spot.

Great place!!!

Looks good from here!

Doh...its beautiful

This is one of the best views in Austin, great anytime of day. Go in the morning for the sunrise. The combination of the cityscape reflecting off the water interacting with the beauty of the sky is breathtaking. Its also a great spot to catch some local Lady Bird Lake wildlife. There are swans, ducks, turtles, kayakers, paddle boarders, dogs, and even an otter every once in a while. Dont miss out on this Austin treasure, you will not regret it!

Awesome for photos and for just staring at city or water

Nice parkway! Great for kids

Nice view spot on the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail

Nice and quiet get away

Best view and resting spot on the trail around Lady Bird Lake

Really wonderful place to see the downtown skyline.

Nothing more Austin than the trail.

So beautiful, so much to do, beautiful people, lively views,

There is a drinking fountain, shade, benches, and a fantastic view of the skyline across the lake. A perfect place to stop and enjoy a few restful minutes.

Perfect

Cant go wrong, whether youre on land or on water. This spot is lovely. :)

Gorgeous and quiet spot. Perfect for picnic or people watching.

Awesome photo op spot for Austin downtown. I also love the trail that it connects to.

The perfect camera spot if you want a superb photo with downtown Austin high rise skyline.

I was told to come here to get the best shot of Austin. I was not disappointed.

One of my favorite spots in the city. Barton Creek hits the Colorado River

If youre curious about the name, as I was, Lou Neff was on the city council a long time ago and they named this point after him When he died

Wonderful view of Austin and a nice resting area on the trail

Great view
