Confirmed from Kreutzberg Canyon Natural Area'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.
Nature preserve offering public access for hiking, picnicking, and bird watching.

Ample parking as it is pretty isolated trail. River access. Good maintained and marked paths. Bugs galore. Few deer. Port a Potty, Thank Buddha
Nice park -- the maintenance just need to create some natural steps out of stone or steps cut into the dirt onto the huge almost-vertical hill you have to go down & up to get to the trail on the other side; A lot of people aren't able to get down this hill because of knee issues or without slipping down the dirt &…
Lovely area with multiple trails. River access via several paths. Only one toilet at the entrance, and no benches or seating once you get closer to the river. Quite a lot of what's potentially poison hemlock by the river, so exercise caution with pets and children.
It's such a cool lil place. There's 2 parking spots, the first one guides you to most of the start of the hiking trails and the second parking spot is closer to the water, the Guadalupe River.

“I'm not from the hill country area and some of my Boerne friends just found out this existed when I took them, so it's a very secluded place.”
