Town Lake

Does Jack look like a happy boy or what?! Our favorite twice to three times daily activity is powering around Town Lake chasing squirrels. There are about 10 miles of various hike and bike trails around the water - all with different surface types (gravel, sand, paved, etc), some through the trees and others along the water's edge.

Jack likes to greet all the other dogs and stop for a drink in the dog park area at Auditorium Shores. There's a good sized off leash area for dogs right in the middle of downtown!

There are 5 bridges along the Town Lake trails - this is the 1st Ave bridge with the dog park ahead on the right.


Jack and I clock between 5-8 miles a day on various routes. I generally have my balance tested and shoulder yanked out of place 5-8 times per walk in Jack's quest for squirrels.
