Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) is the easternmost of a chain of reservoirs on the Colorado River. The reservoir was formed in 1960 by the construction of Longhorn Dam at its eastern boundary by the City of Austin. The western end of the lake is bounded by Tom Miller Dam, built in 1939.

The area behind the dam is known as Lady Bird Lake, and really, it's just the Colorado River's natural high-flow level permanently maintained for the citizens (and visitors!) of Austin to enjoy. There is a 10+ mile loop trail that runs along the river/lake with oodles of access points from all around town.

Lady Bird Lake features paddling with a view, with the city’s skyline visible most of the time. You can explore paddling-designated lake trails or you chart your own course. You also have access to Barton Springs Pool or Deep Eddy Pool, both of which are spring-fed Austin pools that are open year round.
