Confirmed from Walnut Springs 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.
Scenic area along the Walnut Branch Stream featuring a system of walkways & bridges.
What runners say about Walnut Springs Park
“The trail is well maintained, and I have always felt safe.”
“Beautiful scenery and lots of iron and metal sculptures and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the park”
I have utilized the trail multiple times, and each time, it's a different experience. I absolutely enjoyed the trail extension from the library to Max Starke Park. This edition is a game changer. The trail is very diverse, with multiple locations throughout the trail to start.
Really nice short trail , has benches , put in “walnut springs parking lot” for parking.
We were taking a road trip from Houston to San Antonio and decided to stop at a park in the area for our kiddos to stretch their feet out and run a little bit. Little did we know we were about to encounter the most beautiful place in our trip! This is a little hidden gem.
We walked the trail between the library and the sushi space. The plants and foliage were great. Water was running at a trickle. Neat old bridge/steps.
