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.
Rode the North portion of the trail today. Almost 10 miles from the bottom to the top. Parked at the bottom. Near a water treatment facility. Awful smell depending on the wind. The trail is very nice. Smooth concrete. The restroom shown on the Trail Link map is over near the Paws Colinas Dog Park. Hidden inside a wind shelter that looks like some dumpsters should be hidden in there. “Restrooms” = 2 portable toilets!
This trail is more for transportation across third ward and not the best for biking. The constant stops for traffic make it impossible to get a good flow going
Nice flat trail, lots of shade, very neat and clean.
Nicely paved side walk between American Bank Center and Oleander Park. Anywhere not in between has too much high speed car traffic.
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.
Honestly a great trail, good scenery, a lot of wild life and few rest spots along the way. Rode really well with a recumbent bike would highly recommend this trail!
Great trail, some crossings are a bit sketchy. Over all a great ride for a recumbent bike great places to stop get water and restrooms along the way. Once you reach grape vine from cambridge or iron horse trail head there are great places to eat.
My friend and I were biking down the northhaven trail and ended up going onto this trail. Immediately we felt unsafe as there was trash and homeless people along the sides. We kept going hoping it would clear up but as we passed two homeless men one of them jumped at me, trying to grab me off my bike. Thankfully he didn’t reach me in time but started to run after me. He proceeded to bark and growl while doing this. I have never been more scared for my safety. We found the closest exit and immediately got off the trail. Was very disappointed and will NEVER go back.
Beautiful walk, lots of wildlife Beaver, stork, crane, ducks, turtles, and of course rabbits and squirrels. Lots of birds chirping too
The drainage on this trail is subpar and it is often closed during rainy season! I am unaware of a source to see if sections of trail are closed due to flooding!
