Things to Do in Austin in March

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

Take a walk, run, bike ride, or kayak around Lady Bird Lake
Lady Bird Lake's pedestrian loop offers breathtaking views of the Colorado River and downtown Austin and bustles with joggers, bikers, and dog walkers all year. The pleasantly shady trail runs through the outskirts of Zilker Park and Auditorium Shores and past several bridges, including the beautiful Lamar Pedestrian Bridge. Rentable kayaks and paddleboards are also available for adventures closer to shore.

Unlock the Hidden Wonder of Hamilton Pool

Unlock the Hidden Wonder of Hamilton Pool
The sheer beauty of Hamilton Pool is a prime example of what Mother Nature has to offer. The pool is about a 45-minute drive outside Austin and is well worth the trip. There's roughly a mile hike from the parking lot to the pool and the 50-foot waterfall that feeds it. The pool might be chilly, but that doesn’t stop folks from swimming, even in cooler months.
