Bull Creek Park — Attraction in Austin

Bull Creek Park is a fantastic spot for a scenic hike and outdoor adventure. We took the Lower Bull Creek Greenbelt Trail upstream, and the experience was absolutely breathtaking. The further you go from the road, the more picturesque and immersive the trail becomes.

There are several small parking lots along the park, each of which can easily fill up on weekends. I recommend coming early in the day or planning for the option of walking along the river bed from up or down steam. Like most linear parks, it's a long course to either end and back with interesting...
