Experience Austin From the Water

Lady Bird Lake is a reservoir stemming off the Colorado River created by the Longhorn Dam. Previously called Town Lake, it was renamed in honor of Lady Bird Johnson in remembrance of her work in beautifying the shoreline. Today, Lady Bird Lake is where the locals flock to enjoy some fun in the water during the 300 days of sunshine Austin gets each year. There are many ways to spend the day on the lake and its shores, but one of the most popular is stand-up paddle boarding!

The lake has designated trails to explore, or if you prefer, you can make your own way and take in amazing views of downtown Austin. There are no motorized boats on the lake, so it’s safe for the whole family to enjoy. If it’s your first time paddling, this is the ideal place to learn, with calm waters and a friendly atmosphere created by the outdoor enthusiasts who frequent the lake.
