This place is a hidden gem! There are plenty of trails here. Don't forget to pick up a trail map from the visitor center. We happened to stop by on Halloween weekend, and they had lots of fun activities for the families l and trick or treating on trail. Our dog enjoyed the trail very much and took a swim in the Colorado River. I'd definitely come back.
One of the best hiking trails within 100 miles. The area is so diverse and extremely well maintained. I have hiked this twice with my kids who are 3,3, 5, and 8 and had no problems.
We went for a 3rd grade field trip, it was very informative. I learned SO much and it was very interesting. We went on a nice hike learning about the environment, had a picnic lunch and then attended a group session learning all about the snakes, frogs, fish, turtles and even alligators. The employees there are so enthusiastic about what they are teaching which makes it really fun for the kids and even adults. I definitely want to go back and try out their other activities.
Over 17 mi of beautiful trails covering a variety of terrains. Trails are easy to moderate except for the Pine Ridge trail. There are some places on that trail that could be considered moderately difficult . There is a nice visitor center with restrooms and a small exhibit. There are also nice bunk houses for groups to rent. This is one of my favorite places to go.

Fabulous trails! So happy to have come across this place because it’s now on rotation for when I need a solid hike and some bird watching! …
LCRA park. Lots of improvements at the park...nice work đź‘Ť I've been coming out here to run for about 15 years, maybe more. Double digit miles of trails. Staff is always nice, bathrooms in the visitor's center are nice, park has always been nice & also is frequently being repaired and improved. No overnight camping, however there are other facilities for staying over. Lots of accommodations for horses, so share the trail and be mindful if you're out there and come across the horses (and their riders!), step aside and yield the trail to them. No cycling on most of the trails. Dogs should be on leash (park rules), especially because of surprise encounters with horses, rattlesnakes and coral snakes, and sharing the trail with other people.
This is an amazing park! The visitor center has some displays that are fun for kids and adults both. Restrooms are offered in the visitor center until closing time. Dogs on leashes are welcome. There are many miles of trails with terrains all the way from what the River Trail has to offer to the Pine Canyon Trail! There are some stunning views to be found in this part. The trails are kept up very nicely and are well marked.
I took a day trip with my dog here and we did a 5 mile hike. Doggo had a great time!
Its pretty out here. You can hear the road during the hike. This seems to be a popular place for trail runners, however, when I went I only ran into three people during my entire hike (most were running the trail.) It was fun.
