Dad's Notes:  An authentic paddle boat ride down the beautiful Town Lake. See the lake and views from the other way - a great way to enjoy and appreciate the Austin skyline. There are regular rides up and down the river to see Austin houses, lake rowers, wildlife and even special night tours to see the Austin Bats and lit up city.
     Day cruises about an hour and a half in length. Sunset cruises depart about 30 min before sunset and our about an hour long. Reservations not usually required - but call ahead just in case. In the summer the hours may be different, and more often.
