Want to feel like you had a retreat somewhere far away in nature while being right in the city? This is where its at. Take a breath, Daydream...

Always a great view, nice vibe. Lots of foot traffic. Dont forget to watch out for and yield to the rowers if you walk out to the dock :)

Peaceful. Has good Cafe called Alta Cafe right on lake. Good coffee and food while watching crew and kayaks launch.

Austin Waller beach at town Very Beautiful, nice Trail, the people around there are very athletic and attractive as well!! There’s a restaurant at the end of the trail and Educational Hispanic art museum And a dog park near bye Depending on the time it is very romantic place five stars

Went to Austin for a quick trip and decided to go kayaking. Beautiful views of the city and a great workout.

Coming from San Antonio this is a very lovely place I went kayaking for the very 1st time and I must say that it was very much worth it. the trail is beautiful andIm most fascinated by the bat layer underneath the bridge died.

Little coffee shop on the lake, Alta. Be sure to stand under the oak just to the east and soak in its magic.

Amazing place to kayak or just enjoy the walk, bike ride on the trail right next to the river.

We did the vintage car boats. So fun! Great staff!

Wow! Place is awesome and the staff there, great people, great time.

Absolutely a place to go on any plan, with family, friends, a date, on a run or just to relax by the water, hear and look at the nature and enjoy the day. You can also go canoeing or biking and is lots of fun. I went for a walk with my husband and time passed really fast as we were enjoying ourselves. Super recommend.

Great place for Kayaks and great views for running!

Its a nice big beautiful Park,. Plenty of room, and beautiful scenery.

Too many folks for my liking but I was testing the patch job on the tandem kayak.

Good trail was walking, doggie walking cycling,etc

The riverside trail is a pretty nice perk for active people living in the Austin area. Definitely nothing like San Antonios Riverwalk, but something for both tourists and locals to enjoy the outdoors near the water.

This was an area that i thought had more potential...would be curious the difference maker BUT could say it feels like its missing something....just not sure what.

Nice relaxing place to get away for a few hours. In the middle of the city yet lets forget the hussle and bustle of the city BS.

Lovely place to relax early in the morning..to get a piece of mind,clear this negative thoughts

Even us old people can have some fun!!

Very peaceful place. And also great place to watch bats.

Forever Bicycles is no longer there, but its still a lovely park area and I believe new sculptures will soon replace the Ai Wei Wei.

The alta Cafe deck was a fantastic place for amuse-bouche and a perfect dusk

The trail around Town Lake (aka Lady Bird Lake) is great for hikers, joggers, and cyclists. If you do not want to loop around the entire Lake take any one of the bridges across and shorten your journey. Along the way there are fantastic things to see such as Waller Beach, which is always lined with turtles.

Great hike and bike trail around Lady Bird Lake. Leashed dogs everywhere all so well behaved. Clean trail with room for walkers, bikers, kids and dogs!

So perfect

Great tourist place and nice garden at the bank of Colorado River. Nice jogging, cycling, running and biking tracks. Also Kayaking is available for great sailing on River. Parking is free here. Best place to arrange picnic with friends and family. Washroom also available. Photography loving people will love this place a lot.

Great walking trails with a good view

Beautiful little park on the water - birds, fish, fresh breezes! Its beautiful here!

Good place to make love with nature

I hope they build a Chuck-E-Cheese here so I have somewhere to go with my kids.

Kayak rentals at Congress avenue kayaks! Scenic downtown Austin! Fresh air and mother nature! Im a second timer and I love this spot! Ill be back for sure!

Relaxing day in the Sun With good company, Fried chicken picnic and stash beer what a way to enjoy the afternoon!

Spent time here on a beautiful fall day. Rented kayaks and did some paddling on the river. Great setting for recreation in the heart of Austin.

It was great. Perfect weather. Quiet and exactly where you want to go for a jog or a walk on a date. There is other things to do around there go ahead and talk to the locals and also google has some pretty great advice to. Its perfect for families and to get your children out of the house and enjoy nature

Great place to walk and enjoy the view!

It was a good place for a quiet stroll or to do some cardio training. I saw a lot of people on bikes as well and it is a several mile long trail/beachhead. Keep in mind the motorized scooters found throughout downtown Austin are not allowed on the trail so if your planning on going here maybe save the scooters for later or another day.

Scooters and electric bikes need to be eliminated.

Café with views over the lake, close to hike/bike trail, heritage trees, kayak rental

One of the nicer city parks in Texas, maintained well very good jogging and bike trails along Lady Bird lake.

Did kayaking here at the austin rowing club. Very nice and helpful instructors. And the view from the kayak was just mesmerising. Must do this if you are in austin. The location of this club is very good. One side of the water is below the austin city, or you can say facing downtown. The other part extends towards trekking and more like nature side of austin.The price was very resonable. For us it was $20 for a 1 hour ride to a 2 seater kayak.There are lot of paid parking garages and spots nearby so you wont have trouble with that even if you are not a member of the club.

Beautiful area just be careful to not get run over by bikers which share the trail traveling at high speeds. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk through the park.

Get family the peeps r polite, not nosy another words mind their own business

Someone needs to pull up all the ragweed, also beware of swans!

It was very nice and a great experience for me out here!! Very much needed place to stop by for anyone who is coming to Austin, Tx.

Taking a walk at this place is very nice. I enjoyed the air, the view on the water. Austenetes used to do their jogging there. You will encounter a lot of them next to the lake. I especially enjoyed how nice those folks are even to strangers.

The canoe is only $15 for two people. It was amazing views. I cant wait to go back.

Nice, quit walk.

Great destination for a walk!

Excellent place to relax, the experience with the kayak amassing. Very pretty please. Thank Austin!!!

Absolutely Uuu LaLa. Top of the line in every way possible.

Enjoy the hike and bike trail. Take a run, do a walk, or take your non-motorized bicycle to the trail. Motorized items are illegal on the trail. It always seems to be 10 degrees cooler on the trail than anywhere else. The trees and water seem to help. its great way to enjoy the city, even when its the middle of summer.

Super cool

Fun, boating place nearby is super, you get one for free on Tuesdays if you pick up trash in the lake. Way to have fun and so something for our turtle and duck friends

Love this place, bars and mch more

Great walk around the city

This place is relaxing. They have kayaking rentals and a river view coffe shop as well.Parking is a bit problem. There are pid parking in nearby blocks.

Good walk

(should probably remove the ai weiwei sculpture picture) we like this location. You can see white koi and turtles from the little bridge -- occasionally a large alligator snapping turtle.

Great place to walk, bike, and enjoy scenery

This place was so much fun.

Beautiful views and a great place to just relax!

Had a fantastic time we rented bikes and rode the trail whats a great family afternoon

Nice area to relax and an interesting art piece near.

Loved seeing the bats from a kayak. Really cool space venue with good coffee.

Lost my phone and glasses in the river but still had a great time!

Beautiful park where you could go kayaking.

It is very beautiful with trails. There are plenty of things to do such as biking and boating.

Quiet, peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.

My favorite place for a morning jog!

Awesome scene

Look for the creepy clown band sometimes spotted on Sunday afternoons.

Beautiful location! Such a peaceful escape with all the madness surrounding you!

Great place to see the water up close and nearby Rainey Street bars.

Beautiful

Nice market space along the park’s fluid and lengthy trail.

We couldnt have picked a better day! Absolutely gorgeous views and fabulous trails to walk, jog, or ride your bikes on.

Nice place for doing kayaking and has a nice jogging track.

Lovely place to walk. Kayak service kind, try the trash Tuesday one hour free

Went to see the bats. We heard them but they decided to stay in for the night.nicr Park area all around there and have walked on it a bunch in the past. Great area to walk by the river with really nice paved paths.

Nice area to walk the trail

Wonderful and pacific area for family time

Awesome

Went paddle boarding today. Super windy but so worth it!

Awesome place for a walk out a jog

Much improved area since construction appears complete, but be aware that it was a little trashy with overflowing trash cans and doggy poop bags, also frequented by the homeless / panhandlers.
