Confirmed from Hamilton Greenbelt I'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.

★★★★★ — Deepak , Sep 2021

Fabulous park. My daily walk. Not too crowded. People are private or don’t mind saying hello. Kid and dog friendly, but more walkers, nature buffs and bikers than young folks (1-18). Great clean bathrooms, water bowls for dogs, streams/creeks and waterfalls. Bike trails separate from walk paths. Moderately hilly!

★★★★★ — Marcia , Jul 2019

Hiking/bike trails, waterfalls, rivers leading to Lake Travis. Best of all, it’s all free!

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.
