Barton Creek Greenbelt

The Barton Creek Greenbelt is a 7.25-mile public park managed by the City of Austin, stretching from Zilker Park west to the Lost Creek neighborhood. It runs parallel to Barton Creek for 6.5 miles before ending on a steep hill known as the Hill of Life. The greenbelt is divided into three areas: Barton Creek Wilderness Park, Upper Greenbelt, and Lower Greenbelt. Visitors can explore large limestone cliffs, dense foliage, and shallow bodies of water along the trail. This natural area offers hiking, rock climbing, and opportunities to enjoy the creek and rugged scenery. It's a popular spot for outdoor recreation and quiet escapes within the city.
