Getting there: From central Austin, take IH-35 north and take the Wells Branch Parkway exit just south of Round Rock. Head west on Wells Branch and look for the trailhead on the right in a few blocks.
Coppertone and I met here after work and knocked out a few miles until after dark. Except towards the end of our hike there was always someone within eyesight along the trail. It was a fairly pleasant afternoon and other people were taking advantage of it just as we were.
The trail is a mix of crushed granite and pavement and it's mostly flat. It's a great place for neighbors to stroll and walk the dog.
I wouldnt bother if I didn't live a block away. Nice flat hike with a pond at the north end and a creek through most of it. Good for running.
Easy neighborhood exersize trail
