Our go to spot to cool off on the hot Texas days!
There is a beautiful trail that wraps around the entire Lady Bird Lake. If you're feeling like getting some steps in after a big night out, do like the locals do and hop on the trail! You can also rent a city bike at stations around the city and bike the trail. Scooters are not permitted and will shut off if you attempt to ride them on the trail.
Closest place to rent paddle boards or kayaks near downtown. Can't beat the views from the lake!
Can't come to TX without getting BBQ! Must trys: Briskey, Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, Mac & Cheese
Butler is fun a 9-hole, par 3 pitch & putt with beautiful views of the city. They have club rentals + beers & burgers!
