Choose your own stretch of Austin’s Butler Trail

Austin’s Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail follows Lady Bird Lake past neighborhoods, city buildings, ballfields and cultural destinations. The city’s official trail page is a useful planning reference for a walk or ride by the water.

Choose an access point, distance and turnaround before setting out. You do not need to cover the entire route to enjoy a useful break outdoors. Review current closure and detour notices, and remember that a trail map shows the network rather than guaranteeing uninterrupted access on the day you visit.

Save the source link and review any notices for your chosen date. If a particular facility, accessible route or reserved space is essential to your visit, confirm it with the responsible organization. A little preparation helps turn a promising idea into an outing that works for your group.
