Southern Walnut Creek Trail

The Southern Walnut Creek Trail is a haven for nature lovers. This beautiful twisting and turning maze of trees and foliage, located in East Austin, is the city's newest recreation resource for hikers, joggers, and bikers. From Govalle Park to Johnny Morris Road, Southern Walnut Creek stretches over seven miles north. The trail will be extended by a dozen miles in the future and will connect to more neighborhoods in North Austin.

Southern Walnut Creek Route consists of 10-foot wide concrete paths designed to suit a range of users and spans more than 7.3 miles of multi-use trail that runs through woods, flatland, soft hills, and water. It's also a walking path for dog walkers and strollers. The trail follows the banks of Walnut Creek and offers scenic views with minimal elevation gain. The walkway is lined with public benches and water fountains, as well as other access points.
