Social N. • June 28, 2012The Greenbelt trail located by barton springs pool is great for hiking, but if you're looking for swimming and rock climbing, it is best if you enter the trail near MoPac to avoid a 5 mile hike.
Emily S. • January 19, 2019Great variety of hikes! From the paved to the more wilderness-type, you can tailor your visit to your skills. Most people come in the summer to swim at the falls, but I like hiking in cooler weather.
Dianne H. • May 11, 2016Hike and bike trails, on the weekend their are tons of cyclists on the trail, beautiful walk along the creek
Erin G. • February 19, 2017Real leg burning hike less than twenty minutes from downtown! Constant ups and downs with stairs
Brian S. • January 3, 2015Try to time your hike to be heading back toward downtown in the afternoon. Otherwise you're staring at the sun the whole hike.
Elizabeth H. • December 22, 2015Little known gem of a park for nature lovers. Bring your dog and your swimsuit for a swim in several creeks. Lots of great hiking trails and perfect spot for mountain bikes, too.
Colleen K. • April 3, 2013Hike down by the water after a good thunderstorm, worth the muddy shoes to experience a true urban oasis!
Social N. • June 30, 2012This is a great place to both hike and take a swim. Even during drought season there are spots deep enough to jump off the cliffs and swim in. Beware of snakes near brushy areas though.
Rodrigo M. • June 14, 2014The Boardwalk Trail at Lady Bird Lake will connect the current end of the trail by the Austin American Statesman Building to Lakeshore Park, closing the southeastern gap of the hike and bike trail.
Will F. • April 6, 2013Run up and down a couple of times, and you'll be beat for hours. Some good views and decent shade, but be ready for steep and slightly crumbly terrain, with mountain bikers zipping past.
Bobby • September 1, 2014A nice hiking trail - near to it all but removed enough to help you forget you're near to it all!
Sarah H. • November 5, 2018The highest point in Austin is a surprisingly easy hike. If you are feeling adventurous this is a short drive from downtown, and has a spectacular view of the Colorado River!
Robbie C. • November 26, 2009Take your dog hiking at Commons Ford Ranch, the best park in Austin that nobody knows about. But plan ahead, park closes at 6:00 p.m.
Social N. • June 17, 2012Zilker Park: Make sure to check out the hiking trails, but don't forget your water bottle! The trails can go on for miles. Also, make sure to bring your furry friend - he'll make a great companion!
Charles L. • September 1, 2014Great place to take your dog, go for a run, or ride a bike. Rarely gets crowded.
