Hiking

Features

Enchanted Rock The second largest granite batholith in the United States sits square in the middle of the Texas Hill Country amidst miles of trails.

Buescher State Park Nearby Bastrop State Park may get more visitors, but Buescher has its own path through the lost pines.

Wild Basin This jewel in a rapidly developing area of Austin provides a hiking respite just a stone's throw from a major roadway.

Red Bud Isle This short trail around an island in the middle of Lady Bird Lake is an ideal place to bring your dog.

A nice waterfall over a dam. I could see a trail on the other side of the dam, but the water was flowing too much over the dam for me to cross without totally soaking my shoes and socks. Spicewood Valley Trail
