Lady Bird Lake & Hike–Bike Trail – Austin

#summervacay Lady Bird Lake in Austin is a summer hotspot that combines city vibes with nature. I rented a kayak and paddled past the skyline, under bridges where bats sleep, and alongside paddleboarders and joggers. The Hike-and-Bike Trail was buzzing with energy—cyclists, dog walkers, and runners enjoying the breeze. The lush greenery and reflections on the water made it feel peaceful despite being in the heart of downtown. It’s one of those summer places that balances chill and adventure perfectly. #summervacay
