Situated on the Colorado River in Austin, TX, lies Lady Bird Lake. This man-made reservoir was built in the 1960s as a cooling lake for the nearby power plant before eventually being turned into a recreational site. This reservoir was named after former First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson.

Today, Lady Bird Lake is a popular spot for kayaking, fishing, and paddleboarding. Many local rowing teams often practice on the lake, and you can see them throughout the year. In addition to this, the reservoir also features a long bike trail that winds around its border.
