“A must when visiting Austin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

full of people and dogs on a Sunday morning but plenty of room and fun. Boating available and great people watching opportunities.

“Scenic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Really nice place to take a walk, or a more serious exercise route. The trail along the river is nice and wide, and there are dogs everywhere (but people are pretty diligent about picking up after their pets). Some cool statues and landmarks to see along the way, and a gorgeous view of downtown Austin.

“The best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

The Hike and Bike trail is a wonderful place to run or walk. It is a safe place where you can walk a 3, 6 or 10 mile loop! Great scenery too!

“Much to see”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Very pleasant. Wide enough for bikers and walkers and runners, of which there are many. Fun to watch the dogs run loose in the dog park. Enjoyed the water stops! Thanks! Much to watch as you are getting some exercise.

“A great walk or run in downtown Austin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

This crowded bike/hike path is used by everyone from Austin law makers and power brokers (you might even see Rick Perry) to students and soccer moms. Its scenic and winds it way along the shore of Town lake. There is also rentals of canoes and kayaks if you want to get away from the crowd and get onto the water.
