Creek Walk - Lost Creek Barton Creek Entrance

Last hike of August. Not sure how high it will be in hike-able segments where the water is running. 7% rain chance, 78 - 83 degrees. This will be a creek walk, wear hiking water shoes and clothes prepared to hike in the water much of the hike and possibly higher than knee deep for short segments.

This is not an official entrance to Barton Creek - but it is a well used one - no legal issues. This is the farthest upstream entrance I know. Park below the bridge - should be lots of room at 7:00 AM, but if this small road is full park just past the golf course entrance on the other side and walk down.

From Mopac South entrance to 360 go past Scottish Woods and take a left onto Lost Creek, it is almost 3 miles through the neighborhood and there is a small creek level access road (technically Bend O' River Drive, but I've never seen a sign) on the right to go down to the right and below the bridge. If you pass the golf course entrance after the bridge and on the right - turn around and park on the right and walk down.

What might we talk about?

TBD

We will be in or near the creek for the entire hike - probably getting as far down stream as Sculpture Falls. Hike is estimated to be 2.0 hours unless we all agree we want to be shorter or longer.

Wear good shoes for hiking in the water and bring water. As always, we will wait if you are late, on your way and call - otherwise we will leave on time. All Crack of Dawn hikes are dog friendly, Stokie wouldn't allow it any other way, but you are responsible for the behavior of your dog if you bring one.
