Austin Graff:

"Open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. is a nature preserve gifted to the city in the early 20th century. It became the city's first nature preserve and it's a good one. With parking nearby, it's just north of Zilker Park. The trails are rocky and a little steep for super little kids, but otherwise it's family-friendly. Cactus line the sides of some trails and one path leads to a lookout with stunning city views!"

"This hiking trail is a hidden gem! It's not very long, but (for me) it was quite a workout given how "rugged and steep" it was (the trail heads warn you about it). Lots of rocks and stairs to climb; lots of streams to cross (I was there when it was all dry), the trail never gets old because there's always something new. There are maps in place of trail markers which show you exactly where you are on the trail. There are also signs posted at every fork, pointing out the points of interest like the Mirror Pond or the Spanish Moss Forest. It's quite a bit of a hike to the Lookout Point. All you get to see is the skyline, but its a cool spot for pictures. This trail comes highly recommended from me!"

"We visited in Christmas Day's afternoon. This place, located just 5 minutes away from Austin downtown, is truly a peaceful place with dry creek, fern cliff and variety of habitats. The trails were perfect for kids and easily followed by posts and maps. I would highly recommend this magical place for fossil picking, birding, foliage peeping or just simply get-away from urban living."

"Fun beginning part for children that's very educational and relaxed, further nature walk is great for slightly older children and adults, plenty of paths to take and very scenic views. Wonderful preserve"
