Confirmed from Boggy Creek Greenbelt's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Creekside park covering 89 acres with open fields & shady areas, suitable for picnicking & walks.
What runners say about Boggy Creek Greenbelt
“A beautiful easy trail you walk, run or bike.”
“Beautiful nice shaded park.”
“About a 2 1/2 mile biking and walking trail with clearly marked paths.”
Great example of how nice a trail plan can be. This is more urban, but the split walking and biking paths are excellent. Only downside is how short it is. For something longer try walnut creek trails.
Nice little trails and open spaces. Great for relaxing or playing with a frisbee or soccer ball. Also great for dogs to run around
Calm and serne walking pathway close to downtown. The view of downtown during sunset is mesmerizing. Accessibility friendly pathway. Parking lot is located at Conley park. Takes around 40mins around the trail. Separate bike tracks available within the park.Have a nice walk.
Hidden gem in the middleof East Austin. A beautiful easy trail you walk, run or bike. Dogs are welcome, signage along the way. Crosses two beautiful bridges, a community garden, a subtrail along the water and a metro crossing station.
