The Boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake is a boardwalk along Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, United States.

Construction on the $28 million project was completed during October 2012 – June 2014. Artist Ken Little's art installation Belting It Out was commissioned for the boardwalk and features 36 cast bronze belts displaying lyrics by Texas singers and songwriters.
Condé Nast Traveler says, "This section of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail finally links the entire whole together. Take the time to enjoy a different perspective of Austin from the many viewing areas." The boardwalk begins near the Austin American-Statesman on East Riverside.

There's really not a lot to do other than exercising, you can rent a canoe or paddleboard in a shack along the way (if they are open).

Beautiful! Very enjoyable during weekdays, when it doesn’t get too crowded. Check out Alta’s coffee shop, it has an awesome river view and very relaxing atmosphere. It’s hard to find parking at weekends

Great walking/biking path right in the heart of Downtown Austin with fabulous views of the city. Plenty of places to sit and take in the view. It wasn’t too crowded when I went, tons of people out walking their dogs. It’s was a highlight of my trip to Austin.
