the view of the river and natural areas and the access from downtown. Several hotels have direct access to the trail. The trail is well maintained and enjoyed by locals.

You can't come to Austin and skip the Hiking trail! It's a must see and do while you are in town or even if you are a local. Beautiful trees line the lake and miles of trails are carved along the edge of the waters for running, walking or biking. And if you don't feel like any of the above, feel free to sit on a park bench and watch the white swans. Or rent a kayak or paddle board and cruise the lake, or bring your dog and play at the dog park area in front of the Long Center. Beautiful nature nook in the middle of the city!

Scenic clean trail-not rough to ride-cooler under the shade trees riding-very historical with Stevie Ray Von statue!!

Read about the Town Lake Trail on Trip Advisor and it lived up to the reviews. The majority of the trail is wide and lined with trees and fantastic views of the lake and the city of Austin. The southeast portion of the trail is mostly sidewalks and along side the road, but the remainder of the trail makes up for the ordinary. Plans are in place to have a boardwalk replace much of that portion. The busiest part of the trail is of course closest to the center of the city, but dont be afraid to explore each end. We were amazed how well maintained the trail was and how little litter was present. Well done Austin.
