Hiking

10 miles of trails border Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin and serve as a social hub for runners, walkers and cyclists.

A lush, urban path that meanders along the water’s edge and passes by skyscrapers, neighborhoods, ball fields and cultural attractions. With the completion of the Boardwalk portion of the Trail in June 2014, the 1.3 mile gap along the south shore has been closed, and the Trail now serves our city in an additional way – as an alternative transportation route for our growing urban core.

With more than 2.6 million visits a year, the 10-mile trail is Austin’s most recognized and popular recreational area.
