Barton Creek Greenbelt

You 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.

The 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 .

The 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.

Multiple hiking trails . Rock climbing area . Pets allowed . Saturday morning before 9 am isnt crowded . very close to Mopac .

Nice 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.

This place is just beautiful. My dogs love to explore...there are plenty of areas where you can relax along the creek....

What an awesome experience me and my family had this past weekend. Can't wait to go back again!

Trail 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

Easy 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 .

A widely varied trail with the creek resting at the bottom. Multiple entrances with varying difficulties can help one work on building better hiking skills!

The 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 .

Great place to hike and explore. I have found myself going out here more and more often as the weather is getting warmer.

Twin 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!

With 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.

Mountain biker 's dream and 8 miles of trail with beautiful streams and views of the Texas Hill Country !

Really nice hike . Went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded . Would definitely go back

Hike . Bike . Run. Walk. Whatever you choose to do, you can't go wrong with the Greenbelt.

Hiking , swimming , biking , climbing - you can literally do anything in the greenbelt!

Such a beautiful escape from the city . Gets crowded . Bring a picnic .

Be sure to take swim clothes and go all the way up to Sculpture Falls.

Don'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 .

Bring hiking shoes , this is kind of a intese trail , especially if you like exploring off the main trail .

Just keep hiking ! Always something cool around the next corner, especially after recent rains!

Might want to keep a Gps on you if you are adventurous and get off the trail lop

Great trail for walks and dog friendly , .

Great hiking right in the middle of the city .

Make sure the dog you've brought is always on leash: nobody likes his licking as much as you do.

Love the greenbelt! So beautiful!

Wear shoes with thick soles. There are some areas with sharp rocks!

Amazing hiking spot.

Do not leave anything of value in your car. Put anything you have in the trunk. Break-ins are unfortunately common.

There are so many spots, that you don't have to run with the crowd.

This place is so beautiful.

A good spot to relax and swim or hiking

love this area

Watch for cops if u have alcohol their out today

Go swimming , or if you're lucky and it's flowing, kayaking !

Where the wild things are! (Not to mention the witches, hippies, and yuppies)

Its green.

Run up the Hill of Life!
