Nice greenbelt park. Everyone was respectful. It's very clean so please keep it that way and pick up your trash.

So far I'd say that the trail to Gus Fruh climbing rock from the east side of the creek is the most challenging I've been to in Austin, and the most fun. We did this hike a few days ago after the snow had melted and it was muddy as hell but definitely worth the effort! We shimmied across a 5in sliver of rock over a 30ft drop to get to this spot in the photo. Super dope.

Great trail. Plenty of shade. Typically plenty of water but the creek was mostly dried up.

Beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of people hiking, running, biking, and rock climbing, but certainly not even close to crowded; most areas felt more on the "secluded" end. Had a (non-venomous) snake cross in between my child and I on the path which was fun to observe, as well as seeing a skink.

Gorgeous hike and creek entry point. There’s plenty of swimming spots deep and not deep on this trail. Keep in mind that the trail is partially blocked by trees. After the blockage, it gets really hairy. The trail is thin and climbing through lots of rocks and tree roots. It is not an easy walking hike for many! Bring hiking shoes. After a short 15 minute walk through the cliff side, we discovered beautiful views and place for us to hang out. Loved it!

Wonderful little gem with decent parking. Might bring your bug spray. The mosquitoes are pretty thick in the surrounding woods & hiking trails. Unless there is rain this week, there may not be any swimming next weekend. It's flow is dependent on the rain 100%. Weekend before last had a great flow, but lots of debris. Last weekend, the flow was gone and what was left was essentially a swimming hole.

Great place for an active day out. Long trail, so go prepared with water and food, as well as a sheet for an inpromptu picnic Dry during the off season, so you can explore a lot of smaller trails. I look forward to going back when the stream is full 😉

No water at the swimming hole as of 08/24/23, still makes for a great hike that connects to the rest of the main trail Hiked 6 miles of beginner friendly trails

Beautiful swimming hole tucked back in/behind a residential area. Swim, hike, bike, sunbathing, climb, dog, alcohol friendly. Just be kind to others and leave it cleaner than when you found it! Awesome place to laze a day away.

Great place to hike and rock climb. Also some bouldering. There are beginner to expert routes to climb. Hasn't been much water in the creek for most of the year but the area is still gorgeous

Some fun, very accessible, climbing. If the creek has water in it, best to approach from the west trailhead near Tacodeli. If it's dry, the Gus Fruh Barton Creek Greenbelt trailhead is very close by across the creek.
