Very beautiful small Trail and easy to navigate. It’s a bit Rocky at some points but overall it’s a quite a small trail but scenic. It’s quiet compared to other trails I’ve been to so it was a peaceful experience. I arrived there midday and in the evening it gives quite a vibe. Will definitely recommend if you ever come across Austin!

Beautiful loop trail with plenty of shade throughout! Very dog friendly as well. Some inclines but nothing difficult. Parking can be challenging as well, but worth it! Def recommend!

The trail is simple, but nice. Goes along the creek, then up a small mountain. A few views at the top. And a lot of wildlife. I saw two big black birds, small lizards, and a tiny snake. Many people go there with a dog unleashed. The unpaved parking is small, but there should be a few places left. Also, some broken car glass can be spotted around, so be careful. However, I heard it has improved recently due to some measures.

This trail holds a very special place in my heart. Nestled in one of the more scenic areas of Austin, it's easily one of the better hiking spots in the city. The path is well-maintained and offers a moderate challenge, making it accessible for most fitness levels. If you keep a steady pace, you can complete the loop in about 30 minutes—perfect for a quick yet refreshing outdoor escape. What really sets this trail apart are the views. The natural beauty of the surroundings makes it a peaceful retreat from city life, especially on weekends. Whether you're looking for a bit of solitude, a place to reflect, or just a break in nature, this trail delivers. Highly recommend it for locals and visitors alike.

Me and my friend’s car windows were shattered and items stolen. We were gone for a hour came back ag 5:30pm. Waited for hours for police and had to leave because it was getting dark. Still waiting for a police officer to make a statement. Found some of our items on the side of the road that they threw out. DO NOT HIKE HERE!
