Lady Bird Lake

Adjacent to The Shore, the graceful bridges and blue expanse of Lady Bird Lake afford incredible views and countless recreation opportunities. A hub for outdoor activity, sprawling Lady Bird Lake Park and Austin’s Hike and Bike Trail are steps away.

Of special interest, The Shore offers a spectacular vantage point for the nightly flight of Austin’s famous bats, as up to 1.5 million of the creatures spiral from Congress Avenue Bridge into the summer sky.

The serene waters of Lady Bird Lake are popular for canoeing, kayaking, and rowing. Other nearby attractions include Zilker Hillside Theater, Umlauf Sculpture Garden, Zilker Botanical Gardens, Austin Nature and Science Center, Barton Springs Swimming Pool, and a variety of sports fields.
