Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park combines a 10- to 12-foot-wide concrete regional trail with a network of more than 10 miles of natural-surface paths crossing creek and wooded terrain.
Austin's current Urban Trails Plan distinguishes the concrete Northern Walnut Creek Trail from the intersecting natural paths. Choose the concrete spine for a straightforward visit; the natural network adds navigation, surface, and condition uncertainty.
