Beautiful hiking trail. Great views, and usually flowing water. Couple of simple and cool caves. Relatively busy, especially due to swimming holes. Watch out and listen for bikers on the skinny paths as well!

Easy walking hike, lots of rocks and boring views for a while then see the creeks, beautiful and peaceful.Ensure to bring water!Parking was free and easy to find in the neighborhood during the weekend.

Mark down is because it is a very busy trail and parking is on the side of an access road. Otherwise, very nice out and back trail along the River and some areas where people were swimming. Many with dogs off leash.

Nature filled, beautiful and sportive trail for all ages !Mix of everything - trees, creek, waterfalls !The multiple waterfalls on the trail are very refreshing. You may also walk on the rocks in the middle of the creek.The trail path is paved but rough for buggies and fancy shoes! Suitable only for walking.The trail runs for few miles.Car parking is on the street side but it’s not with heavy traffic. Beware of not leaving valuables in the car.

WARNING!The Green Belt is a beautiful hiking trail. You will not be disappointed if you arrive expecting a long hike through the woods. However, if you come expecting to swim? That can be very infrequent. For most of the year there is no water at all, and the rest of the time the water may be too low to swim in. Check and see if it has rained hard in Austin recently. If it has? Go down to Sculpture Falls and enjoy the water. If it hasn’t rained recently? Ditch the flippers and pack some water. These pictures demonstrate the different at Sculpture Falls. They were taken from the same place a few weeks apart.

Really nice walk. The start of the trail is a little rocky but it gets easier the further you go. The first waterfall (twin falls) is great. But the next waterfall is a must see. On the way to sculpture falls about half way you can also find a Tp next to a great oak. Where you can catch a cool pick. Please be mindful of your trash their is the only trash cans at the entrance

Fun place to hang out with friends, colleagues. Lots of games for grown-ups who still have a child inside. Pool, bull & bowl (as in the name), karaoke rooms. A decent bar and an American restaurant. We were there at a team meet and had awesome time. It was really packed especially after 8, although it was a week day.

Really great hiking trails. Relatively easy too. There’s a creek that you walk alongside that’s nice. My dog loved it. I’d walk to Sculpture Falls, it’s really nice to just sit and enjoy the waterfall. Make sure when you walk back to the trail head that you know which way you’re going as it splits between back to the parking lot or under the bridge.
