Spring Into Fitness: Outdoor Activities to Keep You Moving at Austin Lake

As the trees begin to bloom and the days stretch a little longer, there’s no better way to shake off winter and step into spring than with fresh air, sunshine, and movement. At Austin Lake Park, we’re gearing up for a brand-new season of outdoor adventure — and it’s the perfect time to spring into fitness!

Whether you’re walking the trails, paddling on the lake, or simply exploring with your family, we’ve got plenty of ways to stay active (and have fun while doing it!).

1. Stretch Your Legs on the Trails

Our scenic trails offer a peaceful place for walking, jogging, or a full-on family hike. With gentle slopes and tree-lined paths, it’s a beautiful way to get your steps in while reconnecting with nature.

2. Paddle Your Way to a Stronger Core

Grab a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard and head out on Austin Lake. It’s a great full-body workout, and the calm waters make it beginner-friendly. You’ll build strength, improve balance, and enjoy the views all at once.

3. Bike Around the Park

Biking is a great low-impact way to get your heart rate up. Bring your bikes and cruise the roads around the park or explore nearby trails for a mix of cardio and sightseeing.

4. Outdoor Games & Family Challenges

Who says fitness can’t be fun? Set up a game of volleyball, cornhole, or frisbee. Better yet—challenge the family to a mini obstacle course using picnic benches, paths, and nature!

5. Relax, Breathe, and Stretch

Not every fitness activity has to be high-energy. Find a quiet spot by the lake for some morning yoga or a deep stretch session. The natural setting helps calm the mind while you move your body.
