Park right on the side of the road and hike up an out two minutes to take one of the most amazing pictures from the top of the mountain. This is Lake Austin and is great for renting a water craft, paddle boarding and even fishing! The water is clear and it’s a very popular spot in Austin to be while outdoors.
