Many Austinites use it as a hiking, running, biking and pet walking trail. It travels the banks of Barton Creek (hence the name). The creek is usually wet during the fall and spring, but dries up by mid-summer. The trail offers a good mix of singletrack, doubletrack, technical climbs and descents, rock gardens, hucks and long chances to spin. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also have a chance to see plenty of Central Texas wildlife along the trail. Squirrel, skunk, skinks, coral snakes, rabbits and whitetail deer are often seen along the trail.

This is especially important for tolks like me who love to mountain bike, but can only make it out to the trails one or two times per week.
