Features

Iron Horse Regional Trail An abandoned rail line in the East Bay provides an easy and flat hike and bike path from Dublin to Concord.

Inks Lake State Park A little used trail at this popular park provides an interesting path through granite outcroppings.

Lockhart State Park Small by state park standards, Lockhart still manages to provide a few enjoyable miles of trails picking their way around the park's signature golf course. Ants might not enjoy the trail as much as humans.

Lady Bird Lake Austin's signature hike and bike trail was recently renamed in honor of former first lady Lady Bird Johnson who had helped realize the trail's completion.

The Pedernales River, looking upstream from the trail crossing point. Pedernales Falls - 5.5 Mile Loop
