This could be such a nice area. There were caretakers blowing away debris but there was so much garbage in the river. The grass is super overgrown and the area just didn t seem well taken care of. I was looking for a nice river walk but everything is overgrown so it s hard to see much of anything.

I was on the top floor of the library that overlooked the Shoal Beach and it was breathtaking.

At least in winter it was very disappointing. All these nice birds living in such poor conditions. Let s hope the council does something about it. At least the litter picking is not difficult.

Great spot to spend time in peace, sitting by the river, reading a book, walking the dog, walking or running on the trail, just watching beautiful people on canoes. It was a beautiful late spring afternoon and the weather was just perfect. #Nature #River #Water #Walking #Running #LifeIsBeautiful #Austin

What I m sure was once a beautiful park has now been overrun by homeless people. There are tents all over the place here that are surrounded by garbage, used needles, druggies and winos. It s truly sad to see Austin s beautiful riverwalk turn into such a filthy place. The city really needs to do something about its homeless population.

Very secluded off trail hike, covered in poison ivy, and poison Oak. Soon to be developed, which will in turn offer greater views of the Colorado River Town Lake Lady Bird Lake. Infested by water rats AKA water boarders and kayaking
