Mount Bonnell (Covert Park)

Mount Bonnell, accessed via Covert Park, is a prominent limestone outcrop overlooking the Colorado River and Lake Austin that has been a popular scenic overlook and tourist destination since the mid-19th century. The site offers panoramic views of the river, lake, and north Austin and has long been cited in travel literature about the city. The frequent claim that Mount Bonnell is the highest point in Austin is debated; higher elevations exist within the modern city limits.
