Reviews
I love Pease Park. The Shoal Creek Greenbelt Trail, for me, has its pros and cons. A section on the west side has been in disrepair for a good while, but the paths are often shady and you get moments among jagged the limestone walls. Overall it’s a nice walk if you can stay off the East side of the trail hugging Lamar and exhaust fumes. When I’m in the area it works just fine, and if I lived here in the area I’d use the trail often, but if I’m driving to a trail for a nice nature-filled hike, there are several I’d prefer to visit if I’m not also visiting Pease Park.
Good Evening Everyone! I’ve endured a lot, I am going through a lot. I continue to find “Peace Of Mind,” walking & taking pictures.
I haven’t had the opportunity to really walk Shoal Greek but, from what I saw…it’s going to be….Amazing.
Please Spread LOVE, not hate. Together We Are A Better Race: Of Human Beings. ❤🌌
These are not of Shoal Creek….I have pain to sort through, hundreds of pics. A lot of walking. I will do better. “Peace”
Lovely walking trails with fun places to walk over the creek. The trail is paved differently in different areas: some dirt, some concrete, some gravel, some asphalt. I wouldn’t consider this wheelchair accessible because there are quite a few bumps and potholes in the asphalt. I love how there are trash cans throughout the trail and doggy waste stations. Some of the trails were closed due to damaged but we still had fun on our family walk! My kids used their razor scooters on most of the trail and had a good time.
Beautiful trail located next to Austin downtown.Its an hidden gem located within the Austin city to feel the nature.I have attached the seren location of the trail so that you can get the feel of the place. I has an ample parking space and has an attached dog park. You can also bring your kids to the trail and have a walk. Right now the trail is very hot and dry in summer but i feel the streams will be flowing once the rain showers fall over. Kick off your couch and hit a trail. #HappyTrailing
Truly beautiful and peaceful. Trails throughout with many sites to see. Great place to bring dogs to. Long day come here and enjoy what nature’s beauty has to offer. So grateful for these moments.
