The Lady Bird Lake Trail (formerly the Town Lake Trail) is a 10.3 mile crushed-granite and concrete trail that circles Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. The trail loop goes from Mopac (Loop 1) to Pleasant Valley Drive east of I-35. There are bridges at Mopac, Lamar, South First Street, Congress Avenue, I-35, and Pleasant Valley, letting you choose the length of your loop. There are markers every quarter of a mile along the trail. East of I-35, the trail can be difficult to follow on the north shore of the lake near the Holly Power Plant.
Local running store RunTex provides free water from coolers at South First street on the south side of the lake, and at the Mopac bridge on the north side of the lake.
