Barton Creek Greenbelt
4.7 (4,515)park
4.7 (4,515)Limestone cliffs, shaded trails, and natural swimming holes give this urban Austin park the feel of a hidden retreat.
Description
The network accommodates mountain biking, hiking, and rock climbing along its limestone walls. Terrain changes along the route, blending quiet creekside walks with steep, rocky ascents. While the paths are maintained well enough for regular use, trails are not well marked, so carrying a map or GPS helps navigate the intersecting routes smoothly.
