This is our second time on this trail. We've really enjoyed it both times.
There are quite a few creek crossings and the water was high enough that our corgi got his paws and undercarriage pretty wet. It was still very easy for us to stay out ot the water though.
We started at the playscape and hiked to the end of all the branches of the trail, which is really well marked, to get in a 3 mile hike.
The trail is very scenic at times with rock cliffs and tiny waterfalls in a few places. There were a lot of people at the playscape area and a few hikers on the trail, but overall it's pretty quiet out there in the middle of the suburbs.
Great Hike

Really liked this hike. Even though you're near houses most of the time, it never really feels like it. Not too difficult, but not too easy either.
another gem in austin

This is a good escape for an in-city trail. Lots of off leash dogs, not too many people for a nice weekend day. We will come back and do some more as we missed part of the trail.
Not bad for a first timer!

My friend and I have been running in neighborhoods and have started getting a tad bit bored so we decided to start running trails, instead. The west entrance off sierra was a bit rough. I am unsure if it is because it isn't used as often, but we could not find a path through the trees.. we tried to no avail and gave up went back the way we came. We only came across one lady and a dog off leash. A few small creeks to cross, but they were low enough we could walk the rocks.
Several creek crossings

A little to close to houses for our comfort, every-time we wandered a bit we would just run into someone's backyard. Would be cool if I lived right up the street but otherwise no.
Great!

This hike is easy to park (on the road but easy), lots of water crossings, waterfalls, small cliffs, lots of trees, and even though the houses are very close, they arent quite so visible as they are in Balcones Park. Best hike I've found in the NW 183 area yet!
Great neighborhood park

It had just the right amount of scenic stop spots, creeks, cliffs, bridges and rock. Lots of variety. Loved it!

Well this was our 2nd hike in our beginning journey of our hiking adventures. Was very easy to get to right around our apartment. Amazing that we did not know of this 3 years upon moving here. Was very peaceful, saw a couple of people along the way. All in all was a great hike.
Beautiful evening hike!

This was a late evening hike which ended after dark. There was a lot of wildlife making it even more of a pleasant hike. It is amazing to find a park like this and feel so far away while being in the middle of town. Be sure and check this one out
Great neighborhood park

I hiked all of the side trails on this one and spent some time sitting by the "fish pond" watching the wildlife. Houses are never far away, but they are usually hidden from view. I was very surprised to happen upon a white tailed deer in this part of the city.
Pleasant hiking opportunity

Even though this trail is never more than a few hundred feet from houses, the trail is shaded and secluded. Many families from the neighborhood use this trail. There is a good map at the entrance.
