4. Texas State Capitol

5. Lady Bird Lake

Lady Bird Lake is a man-made reservoir formed in 1960, and has since become a well loved recreational attraction. A sprawling 190 hectares in the centre of Austin, the lake divides the city evenly. Motorboats are prohibited on the lake (except for electric motors under 5 horsepower), so the calm, still waters are an ideal spot for kayakers and canoers. The massive population of fish in the lake make this a popular spot for recreational fishing. There are daily limits on the fish you can catch and keep, so check the Texas Parks and Wildlife website for details.
