Great trail....nice and shady. Nice pavement with just a couple of spots they are working on. At the end near the Eisenhower Park the switchbacks are pretty steep but that is the only place we ran into.
Cyclists ringing their bells at me when I’m already on the far right is SO irritating! It IS noise pollution!!! Don’t ring hell’s bells at pedestrians who are already on the proper side of the trail!
The Leon Creek Greenway is a super nice wide paved trail through the woods. It’s curvy and hilly. It’s one of the nicest trails I have ridden. I envy the people who live in San Antonio for the wonderful trails here. FIVE stars! Traveling cyclist Facebook
Although labeled as separate trail called "Austin to Manor" here, most local cyclists start at Govalle park in Austin and consider this the northern end of the Southern Walnut Creek trail. This section is not as pretty as the sections closer into to town but it is commonly used by long distance cyclists who start in Austin and ride out to Elgin and Coupland. There are a couple of special concerns on this section. First, as ride along Daffan ln, note that you will cross the driveways of a couple of residential communities. Residents tend to be aware that the bike path crosses the entrance of the community but be cautious of cars that may be coming in or out of these driveways as you ride past. Second, use extreme caution when crossing Decker lane (FM 3177). This is a highly traveled road with many heavy trucks driving at high speed. There is a light and a crosswalk so just use the crosswalk button. Third, this path uses concrete "plates" with expansion joints rather than continuous asphalt. Many of the plates have become misaligned vertically between Decker and Lindell so be careful that you don't hit one of these when you are not paying attention or you may loose control or even get a pinch flat if you hit one hard enough.
* 2024 Update. There is now a new 3 mile extension of this trail. When you reach the end of the path at Lindell ln, you will see a new path that continues east. This path will take you about 3 miles into a small non descript park in the city of Manor called "Ben Fisher" park. The new extension follows the rail road tracks, is very nice (5 stars) well marked. The pavement is generally smoother than Southern Walnut Creek. There are a few sections where you have to cross major streets but they are much easier to cross than Decker lane. The path goes underneath SH 130 so crossing the tollway is not a problem. Please note at the time of this update, the new path doesn't yet appear on Google maps. On Ride with GPS, it's labeled as "Austin to Manor Trail". Once you reach the park in Manor, there is a convenience store a short distance away (.5 miles) but you'll need to take a few neighborhood streets to get there.
I rode the Randy Morris trail in early November 2024. Very enjoyable with one super steep hill but short hill. A short section of trail is gravel and I needed to follow the map when I got into the neighborhood. It was a windy dreary weekday so it wasn’t too crowded. I rate it five stars.

Very nice trail and hard to believe you are in a city. Wooded with lots of shade.
Until you get near Eisenhower Park, this is a mostly flat trail. Just before the park there's one really big hill with switchbacks that's a little rough but not the worst we've seen. Solid ride...we did almost 40 round trip
Easy access at the sports complex. Surface was smooth, easy riding. Even on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, it wasn't overly crowded.
We enjoyed the ride, particularly the parts suspended over the water. Even during the week, it was quite congested but it makes sense....nice walking path in downtown SHOULD be used.
This trail is a pretty easy but not flat 3 mile loop around the lake. It’s easy to get to and parking wasn’t an issue. The only drawbacks are that it’s kind of boring and there’s not much in the way of shade as you’re walking but if you don’t mind that then it’s a great loop!
I just moved back to my hometown of Austin, and live in a nice, quiet, safe, gated neighborhood, in Circle C Ranch. I decided to get back into road cycling, so I bought an amazing bike, and started looking for safe places to ride. To my immense shock and pleasure, I found that the Veloway was five minutes away.
This park is unique in the US. So, what a blessing. It is about 3.6 miles, very clean, safe, well kept, with no hikers, or cars. I love it, and spend an hour or so, doing laps, a few times a week, to train for long group (intermediate) rides. It is a tough course, and I love it.
I wish these were all over our country, as I have homes, and business interests, throughout the country…
