A 3-day weekend is always a great time to get outdoors and enjoy quality time with your friends and family. According to Accuweather.com<\/a>, temperatures in Austin are predicted to reach 100° this Memorial Day Weekend! To cool off, we have five ideas for epic water adventures to enjoy in Austin this year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
1. Jet Powered Standup Paddle Boarding and Kayaking on Lady Bird Lake with <\/b>Rowing Dock<\/span><\/b><\/a>!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

   Rowing Dock, a local Austin company, offers equipment rentals such as kayaks, canoes and standup paddle boards (SUP) for Austinites to get out and on the lake. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

   A rental currently exclusive to Rowing Dock on Lady Bird lake is the <\/span>SUPJet<\/span><\/a>. Built like a standard standup paddleboard but with an added kick, pressing a button on the board activates an electric engine to bring you up to 5 mph across the water! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

   Tip: If you decide to rent a fishing kayak, make sure you bring your own pole and bait!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

   1. Krause Springs<\/span><\/b><\/a> Swimming Site<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Krause Springs is one of the best spots to go swimming near Austin as the natural springs keep the pools full year-round regardless of drought.  You never have to worry about water levels like many other Austin swimming holes. The property is a sight to be seen with 32 springs, camping grounds, and even a butterfly garden. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Tip: Credit cards are not accepted, so make sure to bring cash to pay the admission fee ($8 per adult and $5 per child). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \n

          <\/p>\n

         <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

         Few water activities are more enjoyable than floating down a river. Whitewater Sports<\/span><\/a> offers float trips and rentals along the Guadalupe River. With two custom tubing options currently available, the Horseshoe and the Fourth Crossing, there is certainly fun to be had!  <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

            <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

            Sculpture Falls is the perfect day adventure as there is a 1.5-mile hike to get to the beautiful creek and endless fun once you arrive. With gentle falls and wading pools, it is a great place to spend a few hours basking in the sun and splashing in the water with friends and family. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

            Tip: Bring your dog and a 6 pack! Sculpture Falls is pup friendly and drinking is permitted on the property. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            \n
