Town Lake Running Trail

The Town Lake Running Trail loops around Lady Bird Lake and gives you a solid spot to run, walk, or bike with water views the whole way—it's one of Austin's best free outdoor paths. The trail circles most of the lake's lower two-thirds, so you can do short loops or go longer depending on what you're feeling. There are multiple access points around the lake if you want to mix up where you start, and if you're into it, you can check out kayak or SUP rentals nearby to switch things up after your run.
