If you're looking for solitude, avoid the trail between the Mopac Bridge and Lamar Boulevard. Walkers with urban assault strollers and/or exuberant dogs are common obstacles on this popular part of the trail.

This waterside path is a scenic thoroughfare of outdoor activity.

In Short Lined by shady trees, the 10 miles of trail are primarily crushed gravel, with concrete in some places.

The hike and bike trail is the place to people watch while you are running in Austin. Just watch out for the bike riders who will run you over and the walkers who walk 3 or 4 a breast making the trail an obstacle course for runners.

Pros

+ Beautiful scenery, Beautiful girls, Central City

Cons

- Crowded, Parking, Dorky bike riders

The H&B trail is my favorite place to go in Austin. The lake makes the ambiance, and you don't realize you're exercising because of the beauty. If you're biking, though, watch out for those walkers---they come out of the woodwork!

Pros

+ beauty, location, ambiance

Cons

- crowded (at times), drunks (at times), mosquitos
