Things to Do

Covert Park at Mount Bonnell

This is where we got engaged! Not only is it our favorite spot to watch the sunset, sunrise, or boats go by, but also it is less than 5 minutes from both of our childhood homes.

Walking around Town Lake is an Austin staple. Whether you walk the 3, 4, 5 or 7 mile loop, you get a beautiful view of the lake and downtown the whole time.

South Congress
