No, that's not a misspelling; Austin's Live Love Paddle is leading a bat tour this weekend. In fact, the tours are held almost every day. If you know anything about the city that inspired the slogan "Keep Austin Weird," then you probably already know that it's home to what's widely considered the biggest urban bat colony in the entire globe. That's why Live Love Paddle offers Congress Avenue Bridge Bat Tours—this specific bridge is where most of the colony lives.
Live Love Paddle, which is only about 20 minutes from your apartment at Folio, provides the kayaks, paddles, and all instruction you'll need to get out onto Lady Bird Lake for an up-close view of the bat colony. You don't even need any prior kayaking experience to join in the fun, just a willingness to learn. As you paddle ever-closer to the colony, your guide can tell you a bit more about how it came to be and answer any questions. You'll also get a breathtaking view of the Austin skyline at night from the water.
