“A beautiful singletrack wooded trail winding towards the Hurst Creek outlet into Lake Travis.”

— Donovan Acker
GPX File

Features River/Creek · Views · Wildflowers · Wildlife

Definitely wear trail runners or light hikers. There is lots of fun, root-strewn, and rocky scrambling on this trail.

Runner Notes

I would only recommend this to experienced trail runners used to root-strewn and loose-rock terrain.

Description

This trail is distinctly more technical and requires more skill than the easier Hamilton Greenbelt I Trail & Hamilton Greenbelt II Trail that lead into the area.

Flora & Fauna

There's lots of deer in this area. Don't be surprised if you come on a few bucks along this trail.
