Optional Activity: Lake Austin Riverboat
Enjoy a scenic river cruise aboard the Commodore’s Pup, a stern wheel wooden river boat. Experience Lake Austin while enjoying a catered lunch and cocktails. Lake Austin is one of the seven highland lakes in Central Texas. Your chartered riverboat cruise begins at the LCRA dock next to the Tom Miller Dam. As we meander up Lake Austin, you will enjoy the beauty of the natural limestone cliffs, Mt. Bonnell, amazing lakefront mansions, and spectacular views of the picturesque Pennybacker Bridge. The beauty of Lake Austin and the leisurely pace of the authentic stern wheel boat will provide the perfect setting! A continental breakfast and registration will run from 8:30-9:15am, and we will depart the hotel at 9:30am, returning to the hotel at approximately 1:00pm. Beverages and lunch served on board the riverboat. Pre-registration required.
