Looking for a beautiful place to go for a walk, run or even a bike ride? Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) is the perfect spot.  The conference hotel is conveniently located on the banks of the lake.

The roughly 10 mile trail provides excellent views of downtown Austin and lots of shade from the hot Texas sun… although we are hoping it will have cooled off for everyone come mid November.  The hotel offers mountain bike rentals for guests interested in checking out the trail via bicycle.

If you follow the trail, it will take you to one of Austin’s largest and most popular parks, Zilker Park. Zilker hosts a miniature train that is still in operation and the fourth largest natural spring in Texas, Barton Springs.  This natural spring is open year round to the public for swimming, and it is free in November!
