Another great thing about the Lakeway Trail of Lights is it’s accessibility to anyone. People in wheelchairs or people who have strollers with them have a separate entrance route to the trail. And with that, they can enjoy the holiday cheer the trail provides along with everyone else.

The trail is also self-guided. There will be no attendants or vendors in sight so you’ll truly have the place to yourself to enjoy without any kind of pressure. You and your friends and family can take as much time as you want to explore the various light displays inside. So don’t forget to bring your cameras and dress all nice and cozy!
