Sunday Afternoon Hike at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park

Sunday afternoon Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park trail hiking!

For this hike, we’ll be exploring the trails at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park in North Austin. This park has a large network of trails that weave in and out of Walnut Creek, with a mix of shaded paths, wooded areas, creek crossings, and natural terrain.

We’ll meet at the Walnut Creek Hiking Trails Trailhead and start hiking at 12:00PM. Instead of following one strict route, we’ll wander through the trail system, explore different paths, and enjoy getting a little lost in the woods for a few hours before making our way back.

We’ll plan to return to the trailhead sometime around 2:30 - 3:00PM, depending on the group’s pace, the weather, and how much exploring we decide to do.

This will be a relaxed group hike, but please come prepared for uneven terrain, dirt trails, possible muddy spots, and creek crossings depending on recent rain.
