About the Business
Barton Creek Habitat Preserve is a park and tourist attraction located in Austin, Texas, United States. This preserve provides habitat for migratory songbirds and helps protect water quality in the Barton Creek watershed. With over 4,000 acres of natural landscape and four miles of Barton Creek frontage, the preserve is a peaceful retreat just a few miles from downtown Austin. The preserve was originally acquired to protect endangered species such as the golden-cheeked warbler and the black-capped vireo. Visitors can explore the diverse plant and wildlife species that call this preserve home, including rare plants and endemic species like the Guadalupe Bass. The preserve also serves as a research site for universities, school groups, and other partners, with a focus on conservation efforts and community involvement. With limited public visitation, the Barton Creek Habitat Preserve remains a vital sanctuary for protecting Texas' natural heritage and wildlife.
Reviews
"Google maps takes you to the middle of road where there’s no way to park. Bad directions, do not waste time :("
"We hiked the canyon trail. A hiker we met said that the trail has over 2700 steps one way. It's a out and-back trail You will definitely feel them. We didn't make the entire length. Someone created a cairn in the shape of a heart, so I had to take a picture."
"I love this trail because it's a great place to get the dogs out to. Grant it, you've got some overly zealous cyclists that might pass you by, or the occasional Karen telling you that your dog needs to be on a leash, but other than that, great spot."
"Amazing place to visit. A lot of the animals are able to roam around the grounds. Almost all of the animals are rescues from somewhere. Very kid friendly. Children are able to pet a lot of the animals as well as feed them. Prices are very nice and it’s worth it to visit anytime of the year."
"Great place to come with your family or relatives from out of town. I would suggest coming in springtime or fall as it gets really hot here in Austin. The have a really neat gift shop for the little ones and there's almost always some sort of event going on"
