The friendliest trail in Austin! :) so many people greet you back and smile once you smile at them…read more I appreciate that. I met a friend at this trail yesterday! It's a great trail for runners and bikers. I walked it and saw if few others walking as well. There's a free parking lot too.

Rode this trail the past weekend and was a delight! For those wanting a nice smooth path, no…read morecrushed gravel etc, this is your route esp for road bikes. The trail is a mostly flat winding path through fields and wooded areas with one decent hill towards the end if starting from Govalle Park. At the top of the hill at the end you are rewarded with a few spots of dt Austin from the NE. Be sure to bring plenty of water during the summer as it can get prettty hot out and certain areas are directly in the sun and can be a little draining. Great easy bike path for those that want something paved, no dirt path and a nice leisurely ride.

The River Place Nature Trail is the perfect combination of breathtaking scenery and an opportunity…read morefor a great workout. The trail is known for its steep elevation changes, lush greenery, and tranquil water features. This trail is a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and fitness evangelists. The trail winds through dense vegetation with a mix of wooden steps, rocky pathways, and shaded stretches. One of the biggest attractions is the seemingly endless staircase sections. Looking up from the bottom, those steps appear to climb straight into the heavens. I was mentally preparing myself for the challenge when I spotted a sign that changed everything: "Beware of Snakes. Stay on the designated trail." Excuse me...what?! Will a snake know whether or not I'm on the designated trail? I'm thinking no. Those slithering little noodles of doom that can inject venom and potentially ruin your entire day or your life? At that moment, my inner adventurer immediately became my inner safety officer. Mission status: Abort. Abort. Abort. Instead, we claimed chairs overlooking the pond and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings from a much safer distance. It was incredibly relaxing...except for the part where I spent a good portion of the time imagining snakes conducting secret meetings somewhere in the bushes. All humor aside, River Place Nature Trail is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is stunning, the atmosphere is serene, and for those brave souls who aren't distracted by reptilian concerns, it's an excellent hiking destination. As for me, I'll admire it from the comfort of a chair with a clear view of the ground. There is a fee to walk the trials. If you do not pay the fee, please feel free to donate to the trail fund. This is a very well-maintained trail.

Nice canyon trail in the middle of the neighborhood. Glad that small piece of nature is preserve…read moreinstead turning into someone's backyard. 2.5 mile one way. It said it has a lot of steps (2736) but they are not continuous so don't worry. There isn't a overlook but at the hill top u can see over the valley a little bit. I started around lunch time . 11am. 89F. Maybe because I was little sick but I drank 24fl oz of water at 2mi mark. So bring more water if u plan on going back. Which will be a 6mi total hike. I see people being kids so it is not very difficult. Scenery: currently Texas is under a drought so all the creek is bone dry as u can see in my pictures. There many different of plants u can see along the path. Flowers and berries too. $10 during peak hours which I assume is weekend. And for parking, you can just park on the street

What an amazing trail! One of the best we've hiked in the greater Austin area. Being from Cali and…read morehaving moved to Texas about three years ago, we have high expectations for trails, but this one made me feel a little less far from "home." Great natural features abound along the whole of the trail, such as a babbling brook, some jutting rocks creating an alcove, a big boulder, elevation changes, and offshoots to explore. Some lucky inhabitants of the area actually have access to this trail from their backyards! I was supremely jealous. It's a relatively easy trail but some patches are a bit rocky, so best to wear a sturdy pair of boots if you can. Lots of shade though, so you may not require a hat or sunscreen if you won't be out long. We were able to hike the entire length of it, and back, in a little over a couple hours, so it's not an all-day type trail, but a great get-out-of-the-house-for-a-spell trail. The Boy Scouts also put up a sign to indicate the direction of Mountain View Park that you should absolutely follow as part of your visit/journey. At the top of the stairs you'll find ample green grass, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a modern children's play structure, picnic tables, restroom, and a water fountain. So if you need a break from the trail, to relieve yourself, refill your water bottle, or just to sit down and enjoy, it's a perfect intermission. While we were there, we discovered some joyful soul had left extra sidewalk chalk out for people/kids to play with during their visit. I couldn't resist leaving a drawing myself. =) Note: there doesn't seem to be any official parking lot for this trail. Most folks were parallel parking on the slope of Scotland Well Drive and proceeding the short distance to the trail head. There was sufficient room to do so.

I'd say this is moderate as some areas are very rocky, you get your heart rate going but can still keep a conversation. Some areas are heavily wooded and hilly, and other areas are flat with gravel. Little areas of water and tiny waterfalls are pleasant. There is construction going on and you can head that in the distance, but you can still hear the the bears and wildlife area. I definitely want to come back and check out the other trailheads here. Wear some good shoes as it can be slick.

I think it's important to download a map that outlines the whole trail. There are parts when you think it ends but it actually detours and continues. One of these parts is at Kenny Fort Blvd, the trail really goes an additional two miles east if you start at The Rabb House on AW Grimes. The doggo loves this trail and the shade it provides. There are some awesome benches to stop, rest and enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek. There are also plenty of poop bag stations and fountains along the way.
