Austin Hike and Bike Trails
Longtime residents, new citizens or visitors alike may enjoy our beautiful city through its trails. If you like to walk, run or bike, you are in the best possible place to participate in these activities.
The City of Austin has developed one of the finest trail systems in the nation. Currently, over 50 miles of well-surfaced scenic paths follow natural greenbelts into all areas of the city, making an excellent trail accesible to all.
A host of joggers are regulars on the Town Lake Trail because of its visual beauty. Some prefer paths that follow picturesque creeks; others seek the serenity of primitive trails in undeveloped areas. Because sunny skies and mild climate make it possible to jog year-round in Austin, citizens have ample occasion to experience the diverse trail system.
Jogging is one of the easiest and most convenient forms of exercise, with participation depending entirely upon each individual establishing his or her own pace and goal. Whether you are looking for a race, or simply desire to compete against yourself, we wish you well with your running program.
