A History of Austin’s Famous Hike and Bike Trail, Which Wasn’t Always Green

Shelby Murphy March 2, 2018 Comment

It’s hard to imagine Austin without its crown -- the 10-mile trail that encircles much of Lady Bird Lake in the heart of the city. Officially known as the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, the path offers a natural respite in Austin’s increasingly concrete core, serving the fitness and commuting needs of runners, walkers, and cyclists -- a vital alternative transit corridor away from car-jammed streets.
