Why you should go…
Lone Star Riverboat runs narrated evening cruises on Lady Bird Lake timed to the nightly bat emergence from the Congress Avenue Bridge. The boat departs from a dock just south of the bridge and gives riders an on-the-water view as the colony streams out at dusk. Cruises run seasonally while the bats are in residence.
