Comfortable walking with great views interesting people watching. We went on a Saturday afternoon in a delightfully perfect day in the winter so it was full and vibrant without being crowded. A great addition to the city. Verrier justable and how long your walk, run or ride will be.

We spent an hour roundtrip walking west then back east for some exercise and taking in the nice views of Austin. Relatively new boardwalk that mostly juts into the water and has various fishing platforms and metal belts with country song lyrics as an art installation interspersed along the boardwalk. Very pleasant walk for all ages. Highly recommend if you want to kill an hour or two outside. We set the GPS for 1820 S. Lakeshore Blvd, and found parking along the street.

Easy to park behind the newspaper in a parking lot that’s open to the public. Can stroll in either direction, I prefer to head towards I 35 then cross over the highway and come back to one of several bridges downtown and criss over again. Fairly easy walk on the boardwalk or smooth paths, mostly large enough for runners and bicyclist to pass by. But, do you need to watch for bicyclists they don’t know how to shout out on your right or on your left.

This boardwalk is part of an exercise trail... lots of people walking/biking. It's been extremely HOT this week so we weren't able to walk far. On a nicer time of year, I'm sure it's a great stroll.

Very nice spot for long walk with a view to the Austin downtown. We had a lot of fun there - rented kayak. This area is good for family, couples or solo as well.

There's really not a lot to do other than exercising, you can rent a canoe or paddleboard in a shack along the way (if they are open).

I erroneously posted my review to the other hike and bike trail route review spot, but did this walk with my wife last week. Really a nice thing for the city. Great views of the lake and downtown. Great exercise. Easy access from multiple spots. Only thing to watch for our bicyclist that are not paying attention, as they will run you over.

The boardwalk is a nice place to take a walk during the day. There are lots of joggers and some bicyclists, but the pathway is wide. There are several places along the route to stop. The view of downtown Austin was impressive. I imagine it would be quite crowded on weekends and in the warmer months, though it would be very hot in the summer. There is not much parking and this could be problematic on busy weekends. And locating the access to it was not easy. GPS could not find a through street. And it is not well maked at all. We just got lucky.
