My 16 Favorite Things to Do in Austin in 2025

"When I need a half-day escape I head to Lake Travis, a reservoir built in 1942 about 30 minutes from the city by car that spans roughly 30 square miles and offers swimming, hiking, biking, zip-lining, picnicking, boating, and rentals (canoes and kayaks are around $15 USD per hour); there are also motorboats and nearby accommodation options if I want to stay longer." - Matthew Kepnes

This is a must go place!! The water was definitely very refreshing and crystal clear!! You can rent kayaks, paddle boards, simply swim, jet-skis etc… i would definitely go there frequently if i lived there.

Beautiful lake, it's best to go on a boat here with friends or family. The scenery is really relaxing and calm. There are barely any trees on the shore, so it's pretty clear overall. It does get quite cold, so definitely bring some warm fleece sweaters. Sunsets are the most beautiful here.

Great reservoir lake with lots of parks and activities. Checkout the Oasis for restaurants, shops and a gorgeous view of the lake. Stay until sunset for a beautiful scenery.

The water was beautiful even though it rained the day before. It is kind of rocky so make sure to wear shoes. They have a play ground for kids as well at the park.
