What you can expect

Paddle through the waters of Lady Bird Lake, scoping out views of city centre Austin's skyline, visiting quiet islands, and cruising past parks that line this sealed section of the Colorado River.

Pick up your kayak on the shores of Lady Bird Lake, a manmade reservoir that helps supply Austin with drinking water and prevent flooding of the Colorado River. Get fitted for a paddle, life jacket, and a kayak as experienced rental staff chat about proper paddling technique and offer tips on different places you can check out.

Enjoy the freedom to explore Lady Bird Lake at your leisure. You might drift to the quiet shores of Snake Island, whose name thankfully has little to do with its character, check out Barton Springs Pool, or look for Mexican free-tailed bats under the Congress Avenue Bridge. At the end of your rental time, point your bow back to the tour office and wrap up your paddling adventure.
