Araceli ValenciaJune 23, 2018Great place for a jog! Lots of scenic views of the lake. Lots of spots to exercise or just meditate. Access from north or south or downtown Austin. Trail runs from Mopac through pleasant valley.

The Boardwalk Trail at Lady Bird Lake will connect the current end of the trail by the Austin American Statesman Building to Lakeshore Park, closing the southeastern gap of the hike and bike trail.
Visit AustinMarch 13, 2015The recent opening of the Boardwalk provides a continual connection of Austin’s beloved trail over the lake, not to mention spectacular views of the skyline. Read more
Wendy KalthoffJuly 7, 2014I like this place. They have a nice view and good walking trails. It is easily accessible. However, they shoukd install benches for the elderly.- Whether running, biking, or just out for a casual stroll, the Boardwalk offers some of the best Austin skyline.
Dianey SandovalJune 26, 2016Great trail with places to relax and people watch... Go early in the summer for those cool mornings...
Alex GrismerMay 30, 2018Gorgeous trail! Wide variety of plants and animals. Very clean, and fantastic views of the city!
If you start at the beginning off Lakeshore, cross the lake at the Congress Bridge, and come back across at the I-35 bridge, you'll have around a 4-mile loop.
Eric LacziAugust 13, 2014Stunning views of downtown while you exercise. A great place to walk, run or bike.
Jake HaenchenFebruary 3, 2016What's not to love? Beautiful scenery, a nice long path, clean, and full of fellow austinites enjoying the weather.
Jane KimJune 12, 2014Access near Joe's Crab Shack has no signage. It's on Riverside between Joe's and Alameda Dr.!
- Fun place to enjoy exercise or be with family and friends. Safe and clean
Camryn CallawayJune 21, 2014Great walking/running trail with beautiful scenery. It's not very well lit after dark.- a tad quieter than the main trail and amazing views of downtown
