Despite it's name, Lady Bird Lake isn't known for bird watching. The real attraction here is bat watching. The best place from which to see Mexican free tail bats is on the sunset cruise of the Lone Star Riverboat, an old-fashioned paddlewheel riverboat that takes you on a tour of old Texas. Sit back and let the captain show you the sights: towering cypress trees, limestone cliffs, moonlight towers and the city of Austin itself, even more beautiful from this vantage point.
