Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt
Hiking Trail
Moderate
20.67 mi
566 ft
One of Austin's original—and longest—greenbelt trails.
The Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt Trail is a popular paved path running through urban Austin, Texas. The first section of Southern Walnut Creek was one of the first urban greenbelt trails in Austin, but the bike path network in the city has since expanded dramatically. In fact, at the time of this writing in early 2023, construction is still ongoing on some of the northern sections of the Walnut Creek Trail.
This paved greenbelt trail can be accessed from multiple locations, but the route shown here depicts a 21-mile out-and-back. It is, of course, easy to complete a shorter ride, hike, or run by turning around sooner. You can also connect to other trails in the area to create a much longer ride—see the guidebook titled "Explore the Greenbelts of Austin, Texas" for more greenbelt route ideas.
