Top 5 Ways to Enjoy the Weather

1. Lake Travis – The almost 19,000 acres of water and 270 miles of shoreline make this one of the most popular of the Highland Lakes. Water activities of all kinds and campgrounds create a hotspot for weekend warriors.
2. Hike and bike trails – More than 50 miles of scenic paths follow natural greenbelts into all areas of the city, comprising over 50 miles of trail. Trails range from .13 miles to the popular 10-mile Town Lake path. 
3. Barton Springs Pool – This three-acre, 1,000-foot-long pool is fed from underground springs that keep it 68 degrees year-round. Sunbathers flock to the green slopes surrounding the pool and rest beneath the canopy of ancient pecan trees. 
4. Zilker Park – You’ll see people flying kites, kayaking, playing disc golf, feeding ducks, and strolling through the botanical gardens or the sculpture garden in the 351-acre city park. The annual Trail of Lights attracts thousands around the holidays.
5. Bats under the bridge – The 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats that live under the Congress Avenue Bridge make up the largest urban bat colony in North America. People line the bridge each evening in the summer to watch the bats hunt insects.
