Austin is blessed with cedar- and oak-dotted hills, an emerald-hued river and incredible sunsets; enjoy the scenery by taking a kayak (or canoe or paddle board) out onto Lady Bird Lake. Also called Town Lake, it’s actually a reservoir on the Colorado River that divides downtown and South Austin — it’s the body of water you see in many postcard photos of Austin. Rent a kayak or a stand-up paddle board ($20 and $25 an hour) from the Rowing Dock in Zilker Park, Austin’s large, central green space, and take in the skyline views from the water. If you need a boost before you head out, swing by JuiceLand near the entrance to Zilker for perfectly balanced smoothies like the Julio Verde with almond milk, spinach, pecan and coconut oil ($7.75).
