Parking - Lots of it! Just depends on where you are staying or arriving along the 10 mile hike & bike trail around the lake. If east of IH-35, we suggest you Google the Austin Hostel and park near the lake on the south side along Lake Shore Blvd. A terrific coffee shop when you are done is Cenote on E. Cesar Chaves. If you are in or near downtown, you can park near The Long Center including in their parking garage or in open parking slots along Riverside there, too. Try Joe's Coffee on S. Congress afterward. If you arrive at Zilker Park, there are many parking lots in the park. Try Austin Java afterward on Barton Springs Road. If you arrive on the north side, Google Austin High School and look for parking nearby the school by the rowing dock. You can hit many places on that side for coffee back along Lamar Blvd.
