Evening Hike Along Shoal Creek Trail
Details
Time for another Hike with Maddy ATX adventure with the crew 🌿
On this hike, we will be exploring a scenic stretch of the Shoal Creek Trail, starting at the parking lot just north of 24th Street, and walk all the way to the end of the trail at Lady Bird Lake in Downtown Austin.
This route offers a relaxed, mostly shaded experience as we follow Shoal Creek through a mix of natural areas and urban green space. The trail is primarily flat and accessible, with a combination of paved paths and some more natural sections along the creek. It's a 5-mile hike out and back. We should have enough time to complete the full trail before sunset, but we’ll adjust as needed based on the group’s pace and how everyone’s feeling, and may turn around early if needed. I will make sure we get back to our cars before dark!
This hike is a perfect option if you’re looking for a low-pressure way to get outside after work, move your body, and connect with others without anything too strenuous.
