Note for any other potential visitors: this is NOT a park, or a hiking trail. It is a nature preserve for nature, not a fun Saturday. Save yourself a walk on a hot sunny day only to end up at a commercial zone, like I did. Go visit one on Austin's many, beautiful parks instead

No parking. No trails. Not a park. Do not come here expecting anything positive.

I'm Rating this solely to add general info regarding nature preserves. They are NOT parks. No nature preserve will have parking nor any easy conventional access into it. In fact, whether or not the general public is supposed to be allowed in there or not is a regulatory gray area. It's meant for wildlife! I'm overall indifferent about this place. Haven't even been over there, however I can't help but feel it's unfair for it have poor reviews for something it isn't meant to be or have to begin with. Gives me a soft cringe that it could so quickly be criticized by people that didn't bother getting a full scope on what it is exactly they're criticizing.. sheesh! smh

I almost don’t want to review it because it’s so perfect, we went after we had some good rain. Jan 5th beautiful day no one was there water was just breathtaking. Dogs loved it, nice clean water. There was a bit of trash and broken glass. We take a bag to fill with trash so we picked what we could.

Unfortunately this was a no go. We tried all four sides by car and on food and there was no real access. There is no parking anywhere so we ended up parking in an apt complex ten minutes up the road and trying to walk down. The water looked nice from the highway but the dogs couldn’t get there to enjoy it. Definitely no hiking paths to speak of.

No designated parking or trails visible according to google map directions

No way in, no parking, did not get in to see anything

No trails. No parking. No signs. No point in coming.

There does not seem to be anywhere to park?? Does anyone know where the parking spot is to access this Nature Preserve???

Ran into a pack of coyotes.5 . My dog Kansas went off on them.

This is a nature preserve. Not a recreational park. Some nature preserves in the City of Austin park system are developed and have official trails, signage, parking, etc. and some don't--this one does not. You can bushwhack through some unofficial, social trails and will probably see some wildlife and good views if you make it down to the creek. There's no real obvious entrance or place to park except along the road. Dogs and bikes are not allowed in nature preserves.
