Enjoy the Outdoors this Month in Austin

Average temperature low and high: 51°-73°
Austin is all about live music and festivals, especially in March. South by Southwest (SXSW) draws thousands of visitors every year and offers the latest in film, music, and interactive media, while the Austin Reggae Festival and the Old Settlers Music Festival are popular spots for locals and tourists alike. For a quiet break from the music scene, visit the Congress Avenue Bridge for potential bat sightings or the gorgeous green spaces of Lady Bird Lake. And don't forget the food: Austin's restaurants are almost as diverse as its music. Famed for its BBQ, the city also has plenty of delicious (and diverse) dining options fit for foodies everywhere.

Things to Do in Austin in March

Take a walk, run, bike ride, or kayak around Lady Bird Lake

Lady Bird Lake
Take a walk, run, bike ride, or kayak around Lady Bird Lake
The walking path that loops around Lady Bird Lake is bustling all year long with joggers, bikers, and dog-walkers taking in the breathtaking views of the Colorado River and downtown Austin. The mostly shady path is a perfect escape from the spring sun. The trail runs through the outskirts of Zilker Park, Auditorium Shores, and over several bridges such as the beautiful Lamar Pedestrian Bridge. If you’re looking for something a little closer to the water, you can rent a kayak or a paddle board for an hourly rate.

Hamilton Pool

Hamilton Pool and Family Business Brewery
Hamilton Pool
Hamilton Pool is one of those places whose sheer beauty alone will make you appreciate all that mother nature has to offer. Located about a 45-minute drive outside of Austin, it’s well worth the trip. From the parking lot, you’ll have to hike about a mile before you get to the pool itself, which is below a 50-foot waterfall. The water is chilly but that doesn’t stop people from jumping in, even in the cooler months.
