Enjoyable time on the river. Very accommodating staff and fair pricing

So the water is green. But its not really like a dirty green. We went kayaking for the first time and really enjoyed doing something fun while still taking pandemic-related precautions. Everyone around us was minding their own business and happy within their own groups. I would recommend taking a child, a family, a group of friends, or just having some time alone.

Beautiful walking trail along the shores of Ladybird Lake. I always enjoy a walk in this trail. And sometimes you can even see a car on the lake :-)

Great trail for walking and pretty lake views. Cute dogs and friendly people for the most part.

So easy to do kayaking or stand up paddle boarding. No swimming in the lake. Also by lots of trails if you want to combine with a run or hike.

Austin is awesome, the people are fun, the water is cool and good vibes permeate the air.

Been here twice kayaking and paddleboarding. Its a great, fun experience and very pretty, with lots of turtles. Definitely a part of the Austin bucket list.

Went kayaking here with Texas Row Center for the first time. Beautiful scenery and the perfect place to reboot and connect with nature. However avoid going on a holiday weekend, SO MANY PEOPLE! Still we enjoyed ourselves and I would highly suggest giving it a try. Theres pedestrian walks all around and the view of the city is breathtaking.

Get out enjoy the scenery the world is full of excitement this is a beautiful area to enjoy meet new people and relax I am also a Pokemon go fan .

A must see in Austin. There is no better way to enjoy the town than to get out on the lake with the locals and enjoy nature in a metro backdrop. Rent a paddle board, kayak or canoe and paddle to the bridge for safe bridge jumping.

The lake has a great 10 mile loop of wide hike and bike trails around it, great for runners, walkers, cyclists. Always friendly.

Ladybird Lake is one of the main places Austin that any visitor should visit. Starting from Mozart Coffee shop to downtown there are several places that you can go and either relax or rent standup paddling or kayak to enjoy your day.

Beautiful lake, perfect place for walking , will go back for kayak for sure !

Great place to kayak or have a day out with friends and family. There are lots of rental places to get kayaks or boats. Additionally, lots of restaurants to dip into.

Very well run location for paddle board and kayaks. Great service!

Love spending the day social distancing paddle boarding and people watching

Austin Parks and Rec control the water and what happens on it and theyre terrible. They dont even try to keep it clean. They just say that an environmental agency tells them when the water is unsafe. Parks and rec does nothing to change it. They dont even clean the trash in or around the water. Citizen volunteers do it. Austin is becoming a typical fat cat city. Be careful.

Cant ever go wrong with a walk or a run around this beautiful spot. Lots of kayaking and hiking and dogs and flowers. And Austin classic

Beautiful place to kayak or walk the trials. A lot of wildlife. I saw big birds idk what they were turtles that werent snapping turtles. Theres a part where water comes on from a natural spring down on of the channels so that water was very clear the river water seemed pretty clean as well. A few bridges you can jump off depending on water level some may not be wise

Paddle board heaven! Love lady bird lake! Amazing place to be in the water for the day!

Nice walk and cool views of the city!!

If youre in downtown Austin and can get on Ladybird Lake, treat yourself.

The Butler Trail around Town Lake is one of the jewels of Austin. Popular among runners and walkers. Has water fountains roughly every two miles of this crushed rock trail. Google for the map with bridge to bridge round trip distances. Highly recommended.

Paddle boarding on lady bird in the summer.. There is not anything close to the enjoyment on a Sat.. Well maybe there are a few things, but it still pretty freaking awesome

Great place to paddle board.

Awesome place to rent paddle boards or canoes for 40 dollars and you can use them all day.

As an amateur photographer, the lake gives me plenty, varied subject matter to capture digitally. I used to enjoy the numerous trails as an avid athlete; over time, however, Ive settled into a more leisurely pace.

I love this place, but while my photo has Gus, our sweet boy, in the water, you should definitely keep yours OUT. There are still algae issues being worked through, and its not worth risking it with your pup. Gus is fine, but we know a couple dog owners who have faced big vet bills because of the algae.

This is a lovely park with visiting hours that are enforced because of the large homeless population. Theres a cool sprinkler spot for the kiddies, where the water comes up at unpredictable times. Theres a man-made hill with a spiral path to the top. Many walking/running paths, and a delightful dog park. And its FREE!

Great kayaking experience. We were all beginners and we had no problems. The equipment rental price is reasonable

Well kept and a great trail connecting nature to downtown!

It was clean but the only complaint would be non courteous bicyclist. A heads up on them coming thru or bell warning would be nice.

Paddle boarding for the first time, it was awesome till I fell a few times, word to the wise make sure you life jacket isnt too big !

Peaceful vibes! Great views.

Great place to get a brisk walk in & see lots of neat people with their dogs. Everything is starting to bloom, spring is here.

Fun, beautiful, well maintained, and safe.Other than the occasional electric scooter abandoned on the trails its a nice wide, in most sections, hike and bike trail usually flaunting its known popularity with loads of of people out enjoying it.

Texas Rowing Center is the way to go. Great staff!

This is a good place to take a rest.

I love going for a walk on the trails there. The trees and flowers are beautiful. Like to sit and watch the birds and squirrels. I use a walker but can move around the trails easy. I enjoy sitting on the benches there to rest once in awhile. Glad they have water fountains there too. I am trying to go twice a week for exercise. If I get hungry there is Sandys hamburger place or waterburger place to eat at.

Lady Bird is my favorite spot in Austin. Take the loops of 3, 5 or 7 miles if you want to get a run in on the west side of 35. Go watch the fireworks. If youre like me, you can even get married at Lou Neff point.The shade here is great on the south side and a little more sparse, but definitely there on the north side of you want to get out on hotter days. Anyone visiting Austin should take a walk on these trails for a taste of what its really like to live here.

Nice trail along the lake. You can hike, bike or take you dog for a walk. Theres a statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn plus a wonderful view of the Austin skyline at night.

A great place to get a little excersize with an amazing sunset view to getaway from the normal daily routine.

Usually a very smooth light flow, absolutely great for kayaking. The biggest problem I have is trying to find parking from a good launching point. The lake itself is great.

Get Schwifty With It

I love coming here!

Amazing spot at Austin. Scenic and nice to hang around.

Beautiful place! But literally almost died with my boyfriend thank goodness for the nice people who helped us or we probably would have died. My advice is go with someone whos done canoeing or paddling before to help you or go with a big group of people or in a single not a double canoe, good luck!!!

Lots of fun for my wife and I to take a canoe out for a couple hours. Its not the kind of activity wed normally do, but we are so glad we did. We will do it again!

I went kayaking on the lake, and it was one of the best Austin experiences Ive had. Its an awesome path, with the city in front of you, the water shining around you, and the bridges resting above.

Awesome experience, dont hesitate!

I love this place so much my husband and I had our wedding there! This beautiful park is one of the things that makes Austin such a great place to live

Is beautiful place to hang out

Nice place.. it was so beautiful view from the bridge. We spent an hour in the evening. Great memory.

Good place to relax, people watching, walk yourself and whatever pet you own.

This is one of my favorite places to run in Austin!

I had a blast kayaking on this lake.

Nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors!!

Magical. I love jogging, walking, and riding my bike around this trail. Austin is the best.

Fun to paddle board kayak etc

Beautiful place to go

Great place to visit.

One of my favorite parks in Austin. The walking bridge has lots of plants and great views.

If they were going to rename Town Lake like this, they shouldve called it LakeyBird. That wouldve stood a chance of winning over the non-tourists. Nothing sets apart native and less-new Austinites from new Austinites and tourists like a name that they dont know. cant pronounce, or gotta ask about. Town Lake it is.

Terrible Austin people. Yuck

Love this place, wonderful if you want to stay in touch with nature

Great place to relax and waste the day away

Great views, lots of activities to do at this lake and its a nice spot of the city for photos and what not

I love it bc I love to kayak. If you havent been then go already, quit putting it off and go

Beautiful scenery. Lots of boat and kayak options. A great way to spend time together outside!

Very pretty. Clean walking trails. Restrooms and water fountains are free. Wear tennis shoes or a walking shoes. Flip flops would be a mistake. Ladies invest in a small back pack or fanny pack. Carrying a purse will get old and heavy.

I am NOT a fan of downtown Austin, the homelessness is a major factor, but this is the only pleasant and family area , I really enjoy being in.

Great place too launch your kayak. Parking near the ramp can be a challenge.

Peaceful,accessible, a lovely breathing space in a busy America.

Always a good time on the lake. The water is refreshing and not to cold, flows at a gentle pace and the views are magnificent.

Peaceful quiet natural neural quiescence

I really love this lake so peaceful and beautiful :)

Catch-release little turtle was the high point of yesterdays kayaking. My sons had a great time and I love this place for that

NicE

Wonderful.

Didnt catch anything. But a relaxing place to go.

Ladybird Lake has a really nice trail. You get great views of the river.

Great place for kayaking and have great view of the beautiful downtown

This is TOWNE LAKE. ladybird lake. Has been TOWNE LAKE for decades, since it was first named. I dont get all the stupid name changes happening around the city now.

Great rates for rentals or bring your own. We spend hours here

Been visiting Townlake over 30 years. I am one with the trails. I love it here.

Great space for clearing your mind, night tome is amazing, a definite treat to watch the moonlight dance on the water!

The place to be in Austin... Hands down

Way cool. But to me, its still just Town Lake.

Clean, easy access, lots of rentals

Beauuuutiful lake and surrounding areas with trails in the heart of Austin. I love town lake, so much to enjoy.

Lots of breeds available for fostering or rescue. Austin is a no kill city.

Theres a small bend in the river where the turtles like to hang out so its a fun place

Kayak to your ️ s content

Great place

Stunning lake

The most river-like lake in Texas.

We enjoy walking parts of this path.

I guess its a nice place I was fishing in the water. Good fishing.

Hike & Bike Trail a great place to run.

So peaceful!!! Must see if tou havent.
