River Place Nature Trail

"This place is a hidden gem I enjoyed the nice breeze and the trees ! ! If you love nature and hiking go! I went around 3:00 pm on a Saturday, thankfully we were not charged. It was first time going here I asked a local where to start, she was very helpful and said there was two entrances. Local said takes about 3 hours going up and coming back 6 miles total . Is easy to follow the path a lot of steps going up, we passed a small river with a bench to sit. It was nice to relax with the breeze and sound of water. Is easy to turn around and go back if you're tired. It was not so sunny but there's"

"Out of all the trails we’ve been on in Austin, River Place Nature Trail is the closest to a true “hike”. Friendly warning that there is a $10 fee per person on the trail during “peak hours” which really just means weekends. The trail itself is very immersive as you traverse forested paths and some lofty climbs and steep declines. This 2.5 mile trail is definitely a cardio workout but was a fun one at that. In terms of hikes with views it is definitely lacking as there was no true peak that provided a lookout. The entrance to the trail was beautiful however so I would assume that’s where the up"
