Barton Creek Greenbelt

The Barton Creek Greenbelt is one of the crown jewels of Austin.  Popular with trail runners, hikers, mountain bikers, rock climbers, swimmers (in swimming holes), and even spelunkers!  The trail is about 7 miles long, from Barton Springs to the "Hill of Life" (Camp Craft Access).

The trails are gorgeous and offer many interesting geological features.  The city will close the trail after heavy rains, so when in doubt, call the hotline at 472-1267. 

There are numerous access points -- try different ones to see different parts of the trail!  (See the link for details about the different trailheads and a map of the greenbelt)
