Austin, Texas
Lady Bird Lake is a reservoir on the Colorado River that serves as a major recreation area in the heart of Austin. Motorized boats are prohibited, making it a haven for kayakers, paddleboarders, and rowers.
The lake is encircled by the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, a popular path for runners and cyclists. It offers spectacular views of the Austin skyline and is a central part of the city's outdoor lifestyle.
