Julia OuterspaceJune 22, 2015You will smell marijuana. You will see dogs and naked people. You will hear birds and running water. You will feel hot and sweaty. You will taste fresh air. ...And you should jump in the water.- Social News NetworkJune 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.
Social News NetworkNovember 25, 2013The Greenbelt is great hiking in the middle of the city. There are lots of trees, so the trail is protected from the hot summer heat. A perfect summer get away.
Anitha RamakrishnanJuly 18, 2016Multiple hiking trails. Rock climbing area . Pets allowed . Saturday morning before 9 am isnt crowded. very close to Mopac.
David PittsOctober 14, 2014Nice series of trails, plenty of room for biking as well. Watch for snakes. Crazy parking area along Mopac, don't miss it or you have to drive all the way back around.
Adam SigelMay 17, 2018Easy hike to do in a couple hours. Be prepared: you will likely have to cross the creek so wear waterproof footwear or just take off your shoes.
Dianey SandovalJanuary 25, 2015This place is just beautiful. My dogs love to explore...there are plenty of areas where you can relax along the creek....
Andres ElizondoJanuary 11, 2017A widely varied trail with the creek resting at the bottom. Multiple entrances with varying difficulties can help one work on building better hiking skills!- Visit AustinMarch 13, 2015Trail difficulty varies from easy to technical with several access points along the way. Adventurous types can even try their hand at rock-climbing in select areas. Read more
Iris GiselleOctober 20, 2015What an awesome experience me and my family had this past weekend. Can't wait to go back again!
- Austin 360March 29, 2012With 8 miles of trail to run, hike or bike, the Barton Creek Greenbelt is not only scenic, but it also has some amazing views of the Hill Country landscape.
- Austin 360March 29, 2012The Barton Creek Greenbelt is a mountain-biker’s paradise as the rugged terrain is perfect for climbing hills, jumping small streams and getting that well-earned layer of dust and mud on your bike.
Sunil KrishnappaApril 12, 2017Great place to hike and explore. I have found myself going out here more and more often as the weather is getting warmer.
Ninah RandolphJanuary 24, 2017Really nice hike. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. Would definitely go back- Elizabeth HallOctober 31, 2015Mountain biker's dream and 8 miles of trail with beautiful streams and views of the Texas Hill Country!
- Britten WolfAugust 7, 2014Hike. Bike. Run. Walk. Whatever you choose to do, you can't go wrong with the Greenbelt.
- Jennifer RuizAugust 3, 2018Hiking, swimming, biking, climbing - you can literally do anything in the greenbelt!
John NelsonJuly 25, 2011Twin Falls (MoPac access road just south of 360) is a great entry point. Great hikes down to the watering holes... if there were any left!- Social News NetworkJune 5, 2012Don't want to pay the $3 to go to Barton Springs Pool? Want to bring a pet? Try venturing to the Berton Creek Greenbelt. To avoid MoPac traffic try entering through Zilker Park.
Dustin HaleyAugust 7, 2014Just keep hiking! Always something cool around the next corner, especially after recent rains!
may cJune 26, 2013Do not leave anything of value in your car. Put anything you have in the trunk. Break-ins are unfortunately common.
Jacqueline JonesApril 26, 2014Might want to keep a Gps on you if you are adventurous and get off the trail lop
CultureMap AustinJune 29, 2011Make sure the dog you've brought is always on leash: nobody likes his licking as much as you do.
Trevor JohnJanuary 13, 2013Bring hiking shoes, this is kind of a intese trail, especially if you like exploring off the main trail.
Go swimming, or if you're lucky and it's flowing, kayaking!
