If you’re entering from the trailhead in the Woods of Westlake Heights neighborhood, be prepared for a relentless hike down (and back up again) a rocky decent that seems to go on for a good half hour. Bringing lots of water is required for sure and wear comfortable shoes. The water was quite low at Sculpture Falls and was just sitting still as a mere puddle. No one was there. It was just hot and dried up. More towards the middle between the trailhead and Sculpture Falls we found a nice place that had running water and a baby waterfall. It was so nice! But yeah, once the trail evens out after the rocky decent, it is a lovely hike with lots of trees and wildlife (birds and little lizards, etc.). We only ventured as far as Sculpture Falls and back.
I walked this trail while visiting Austin and was not disappointed. Great views and several people which made me feel safe in an unfamiliar area.
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…

I’ve ridden this route across town to/from work for the last 3 years and love it. I am not someone who would ride across downtown Austin even on roads that have dedicated space on the side for bikes, but this design of having a completely separated bike lane thru the CBD, along with dedicated bike lane stoplights, feels much safer to me. The path gets a Lot of usage, which is great, since it’s that fewer cars on the road. I use the western section of the trail, so not sure what the section closer to 183 is like.
Quick spot for a jog or short bike ride out and back from downtown hotels and convention center
Beautiful scenery with a wonderful variety of twist and turns, bridges and pathways alongside the lake. All on a well maintained gravel trail. Plenty of places to stop and picnic or just enjoy the views of the kayakers and paddle boards. This is a super busy and popular path with LOTS of joggers and pedestrians. We went on a Tuesday and the traffic was just about the right amount. I’m sure weekends would be a challenge.
This is a sidewalk along a busy street with intersections and crosswalk signals. I prefer nature. No nature here, but there are lots of people walking so may feel safer for those that may like the activity level around them.
