Barton Creek Greenbelt Trail

Very nice and walkable trail. The views are really nice and relaxing. Good for a weekday after work even.

Awesome running, biking and hiking trails in the city of Austin. There are even several rock climbing locations, which considering how close they are to the city are super great! Lots of markers along the trail so you don’t get lost.

I went hiking here on my spring break. I had a wonderful day indeed. The view is fantastic. These falls look amazing, clear turquoise water. Just simply genuine!

This review is for the section of the greenbelt that starts at the Hill of Life at 1710 Camp Craft Rd, Austin, TX 78746 and ends at South Mopac. It’s a beautiful hiking trail that follows Barton Creek. Lots of side trails to meander and get lost on. It’s not a loop, you walk in, then turn around and walk out when you get to the end. Most of the trail is easy, except for the last half mile on the return trip when you are going back up the Hill of Life. It’s not grueling, or extremely rough, but you will get a little cardio in during this section. There isn’t a parking lot, you park on the street in the neighborhood near the address I posted above. The trail dead ends at Mopac if you’re on the east side of the creek. But if you can find one of the trails that crosses over to the west side of the creek, you can walk a lot further. Check Google Maps to find the trails that cross over. The water was flowing pretty good when I was there due to recent rains, so I couldn’t cross over. There’s very little signage on the trails, but it’s easy to find your way. Very clean trails with hardly any trash at all. I only saw one plastic bottle and one bag of dog poop on the trail. I saw lots of dogs but not even one was on a leash.
