Lady Bird Lake

Lady Bird Lake is one of the best part of the Colorado River named for President Lyndon B. Johnson's wife.

Hotels and homes line one side, while a huge beach open to the public on the other end is equipped with numerous pathways for cycling and hiking. Don't miss the Bike Trail and Ann and Roy Butler Trail, which leads to the Pedestrian Bridge. They are the most popular walking path at Lady Bird Lake.

Boats are permitted on Lady Bird Lake, including rentable canoes and kayaks and your own decked-out motorized water vehicle.

A 1.1 mile-long boardwalk provides a panoramic view of the downtown area while you're at it, so it's one of the best instagrammable spots
