Confirmed from Brushy Creek Lake Park'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.
Park set around a 38-acre lake with trails, a playground, fishing pier & wildlife viewing area.

I didn't know that I lived for years just few miles from this beautiful place! Nature here is amazing all around this lake..which is large as 38 acres..in a 90-acre park. Very quiet and nice for a variety of activities..
Brushy Creek Park is such a beautiful oasis in Cedar Park for families and people of all ages and also your beloved pet dogs. This park offers something for everyone. The open grassy fields and the wild flowers during spring are great to breathe and enjoy the outdoors.
Beautiful park right on the lake! The new splash pad is clean and nicely built, and we love that there's a locked gate around the whole area so little ones can't get out themselves! There are a few picnic tables in the shade by the splash pad, and a nice turf area to put down blankets and towels.
First time here and loved nature bike 🚲 trails, dusty dirt bike loop along the lake, This is a very nice park with good playgrounds , splash 💦 pad, you can rent kayaks, peddle boat 🚤. Easy parking and shady playground. Definitely you want to come back in early April when Bluebonnets are in full bloom.
