Confirmed from Deerbrooke Walking Trail'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.

“A lovely, peaceful, well maintained, linear, wooded neighborhood walking trail of about 1 mile in each direction.”

This a very covered beautiful unpaved trail. The total length of the trail is about slightly over a mile, and it starts close to the Deerbrooke community center at Deer Rim Rd, and ends at Sage Ranch Dr.

Out and back very convenient trail, walked in the morning and never saw anyone else! Creek is cute and the trail is all in the woods and mostly shaded all the way.

★★★★★ — Tanya , Oct 2023

This trail is so peaceful and beautiful! I loved it. It's the perfect distance and very well maintained.

★★★★★ — Regan , Jun 2024

This is a neighborhood trail so there is no public parking or obvious entry. Currently google drops you off part-way through. Trailhead is actually off of Deer Rim rd, right past Fallshire ct (30.605669, -97.882136). It's a really nice trail, a mile or so. Shady and clean. Nice for a walk or short hike.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
