The biggest in the area and home to a healthy population of large-mouth bass, catfish, carp and sunfish, Lady Bird Lake has a large recreational following. Enormous carp are caught here regularly, and you’ll see sincere locals along the shoreline with bobber and smile in place. A placid and constant-level lake, Lady Bird Lake is ideal for canoeing, fishing and bird-watching for those who don’t indulge in fishing, while photographers can be seen shooting sunsets over two of the lake’s pedestrian-only bridges.

Doing what: Electric Bike Tour of Lady Bird Lake in Austin
Absolutely worth it. Saw parts of Austin I KNOW I would not have seen. Austin has some hidden gems and the electric bike tour allowed us to see them with ease.
