A Quick Guide to Paddling Austin, Texas⁠ ⁠ Aus

A Quick Guide to Paddling Austin, Texas⁠
⁠
Austin is a metropolis built around outdoor activity. The sprawling riverside parks offer extensive walking, running, and biking trails. But we have rafts, which means we are exploring Austin's biggest "trail" of all: the Colorado River.⁠
⁠
The Colorado wanders along the southwest edge of downtown Austin in a dammed section known as Lady Bird Lake. Most of it is buffered from the busy city by public parks with paths, picnic pavilions, and other outdoor spaces. ⁠
⁠
The southern shore is far less busy, and we find ample space to park in a dirt parking lot near the Zilker Botanical Garden. From there, we can walk to a level launch point under the Roberta Crenshaw Pedestrian Walk Way. ⁠
⁠
It's a relaxing paddle downstream from the launch point, with views of Downtown Austin. We spot Great Blue Heron, Snowy White Egrets, and Homo Sapiens doing funny human things.⁠
⁠
This is also an opportunity to explore downtown Austin without driving in downtown traffic for parking. With the camper waiting on the southern shore, we find a public dock, deflate and pack our rafts, and walk through downtown Austin. ⁠
⁠
We enjoy margaritas at the @ironcactus, find my favorite beer at a Belgian bear garden, and enjoy some Austin BBQ as we walk back to the camper.⁠
⁠
It's the perfect day. And by the late afternoon, we are speeding away from the busy city, headed for watery wilderness.⁠

I am excited and a little terrified to share my interview with the Arizona State Parks and Trails Podcast about campfire cooking. Excited because it was so much fun to talk with Neil and Elisabeth about one of my favorite activities. Terrified because it's the first time I've ever been interviewed on a podcast, and it's weird to listen to the sound of my voice. It makes me painfully self conscious.
⁠
Even so, it's out there. So check out at @azstateparks for more details on how to listen to it yourself. We cover everything from introductory techniques to creative hacks to spice up a meal al fresco.⁠

It’s spring, and that means it’s time to brush off your hiking boots and grab those camp chairs because warmer days mean it’s camping season. Though, you don’t have to go much further than your own backyard to soak in those chill vibes around a campfire. Better yet, you don’t have to prepare some hearty meal to savor the moment. Our recommendation? How about some fresh fruit and hand crafted chocolates.⁠
⁠
We swung by @publix to pick up some sweet grapes, succulent strawberries, and indulgent, small batch Niagara Chocolates. In fact, we partnered with @NiagaraChocolates to sample our two new favorite delicacies. Personally, I’m a fan of the Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups while Chris will share his Milk Chocolate Toasted Coconut Clusters (under protest).⁠
⁠
It’s a simple, sweet, and serene way to swing into Spring.⁠

Are you having any fun?⁠
⁠
There are a lot of ways to enjoy oneself but nothing quite matches the breathless joy of outdoor activities. ⁠Hike, bike, walk, run, paddle, or make your own activity. ⁠
⁠
Whatever gets you out the door, we hope you take a moment to go outside and have a little fun today.⁠
