Located in the heart of the city and only minutes from our campus, Lady Bird Lake is one of our favorite summer spots. To stay cool on summer days, Austinites and visitors pack the lake on paddleboards and more. With numerous access points, Lady Bird Lake is one of the most popular summer spots in our city, and you can also explore the area on the 10-mile Hike-and-Bike Trail, which circles almost the entire lower two-thirds of the lake. And when the sun sets over Lady Bird Lake, you can witness an incredible display of nature. The Congress Avenue Bridge is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America, and spectators gather there on summer nights to watch the bats pour into the sky. What’s your favorite way to spend the day at Lady Bird Lake? #Austin #SummerVibes #HookEm #ATX #Summer #Longhorns #IGTexas #Texas #AustinTexas #ExploreAustin
