Austin Boardwalk

"Texas, which was once a Mexican territory, established the Republic of Texas through the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836 during the Mexican War of Independence. The United States federal government recognized the Republic of Texas as a separate country in 1837. Despite striving for independence, the Republic of Texas faced economic challenges due to resource shortages and was annexed as the 28th state of the United States in 1845. After becoming the capital of Texas, Austin prospered, and you can see tall buildings overlooking the beautiful Colorado River in the photo. The (River) board rwalk shows me the beauty of the area."

"Not a good one if You are looking for stores to walk in and out of. They are doing upgrades on some parts it looks like, but to many bicyclists for the Wife and I on this one."

"great place to exercise, watch cityscape, bird photography, and people watching. I was pleasantly surprised with different birds I saw here, this place seems rich in biodiversity. The most popular section of boardwalk is 3 miles long and there are plenty of places to rest/stop along the way."

"One of my most favorite places to jog in Austin. Beautiful views of the lake and the skyline. Clean trail. Water fountains along the way. There are several entry spots along Lakeshore Drive which you can enter. Also along the trail there are a couple of places you can rent kayaks if you wish. Plenty of turtles to see along the hike. Highly recommend."
