Walk on the Wells Branch Hike and Bike Trail

This easy hike in the north Austin Wells Branch neighborhood is on a smooth, mostly flat paved/crushed granite trail that goes through parkland and neighborhoods. It is usually lovely in the spring. The hike will be about 4 miles long and take 1.5 - 2 hours. Parts of it are shaded and parts are in the sun. You can get there from I 35 or MOPAC. We will meet in the small parking lot at MILLS POND PARK, 15108 Wells Port Drive. WARNING: It is easy to miss the park entrance. Look for the sign.

Please consider if you are in shape for this kind of walk, for your own safety and in consideration of others. Check this website for cancellation if the weather is questionable. See you there!
