Zilker Park Boat Rentals

In 1969, Howard Barnett drove past Town Lake and immediately became enamored with its idyllic, tree-lined banks. With the image of the lake’s picturesque scenery still in his mind, the avid outdoorsman decided to open a nearby canoe-rental shop, finding a spot hidden from the road and only steps away from a creek that fed into the lake. With full support from his family, Howard manned the shop in between his shifts for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Today, the Barnetts continue to run Zilker Park Boat Rentals, and Town Lake has since been renamed Lady Bird Lake. The shop now harbors more than 100 rental canoes and kayaks, as well as Ocean Kayak standup paddleboards. While renters embark on outings, their vessels glide them under pendulant branches, the bridge at Barton Springs Road, and past turtles racing to beat their best time for the 100-meter dash.

The Groupon Guide to: Overdoing Halloween Decorations

The scariest house in any neighborhood is the one that’s clearly overdoing it on the Halloween decorations. If you have any of these decorations in your yard, that terrifying house might be your own:

  • Fake tombstones with the names of different local pets
  • An alive homeowner pretending to be a half-buried scarecrow so he can grab your ankle without asking
  • Incredibly realistic murder scene that the neighborhood single guy spent way too much time on
  • Frankenstein with two extra arms stitched on to accommodate six live chainsaws
  • Sixteen-foot-banner reading “There’s a 50% Chance Your Parents Will Get Divorced"
  • A bunch of angry dogs
  • A realty sign that says “For Sale … BY A GHOST!”
  • Christmas decorations already? Ugh—this country is SPOOKILY consumerist.

How can you tell when you’re overdoing it on the Halloween decorations?
