Summary: I have hiked part of this park and remember that it was a shady hike with not much to see. But on a hot summer day, I thought that it would be a cooler place to hike. It started out as just a wooded trail hike until the trail dropped down to a dry creek bed. The trail along the creek is at the base of a 25 foot rock cliff wall. The solid rock cliff goes straight up from the path. At one place there is a small spring bubbling up from under the cliff and flowing across the pathway. There is what would be a scenic water fall if the creek was not dry and also some flat rocks, a nice place to have a panic. Trailhead: From MoPac take Duval Road to Amherst Drive. From the parking lot the trailhead is to the north.

Reviewed by sw on 9/18/2007 Needed some water shoes to get across the water from the creek that was on the trail headed north. Saw a few flowers and it was very tree shaded for hot September. Nice for being in the middle of city of Austin. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous. You are responsible for informing yourself about these hazards and taking necessary precautions.
