Confirmed from Twin Creeks Historic 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 featuring a paved trail leading to waterfalls on a creek and a boarded-up house from the 1800s.
What runners say about Twin Creeks Historic Park
“This place is a great nature hike with beautiful things to see along the way.”
“It’s very peaceful along the creek.”
Very nice little walk through the woods and next to a stream. There is some elevation change and at the bottom of the initial hill is a cabin. You can't go in, but sometimes the light hits it well. Otherwise, there are paths off to the side, maybe leading to surrounding neighborhoods.
The trail isn't really marked and the drive comes up real abruptly before/after a guard rail depending on your direction. Most folks didnt seem to wear masks, but it's pretty easy to keep a distance. It's a nice little trail and stream a ways down.
This is a hidden gem. The relative short hike is adjacent to a clear, running creek under a canopy of trees. Although there are houses along the bluffs in many locations, they are mostly unseen, leaving a sense of solitude.
Hidden gem in Cedar Park. Nice running stream with the spring actually begins in the park. 1800s log house, a cave if you can find it. If you're facing the log cabin, walk to right on paved path, cross over wooden bridge, take fork to left then a pretty quick right.
Trail conditions & character
“The walk takes about 15 minutes each direction but you’ll want to allow time to admire all the little waterfalls.”
“If you're facing the log cabin, walk to right on paved path, cross over wooden bridge, take fork to left then a pretty quick right.”
“Just follow the signs - you are parking at the maintenance building for the adjacent golf course, so don't walk down to the left, stay straight ahead for the trail.”
“There is some elevation change and at the bottom of the initial hill is a cabin.”
“It can be a bit muddy but leads to a small, interesting cave/overhang.”
