This trail located in the capital city of Austin provides an abundance of recreational opportunities without having to leave the city. The paddling trail can be accessed by eight different launch sites giving paddlers the option to choose how far they want to travel and what areas they want to explore. There are hike and bike trails that follow the shores of Lady Bird Lake and parks with playgrounds and picnic tables for those paddlers who want to stop and enjoy the area for a while. There is also great fishing at the lake and lots of wildlife and birdlife to be seen.
