Brushy Creek Trail

Running Route

Moderate
11.36 mi
179 ft
The Brushy Creek Regional Trail is a popular place for runners in north Austin. The 6.75-mile, flat trail is partially paved and part crushed gravel. What the trail lacks in solitude (it parallels a major road for much of the distance), it makes up for in conveniences. Brushy Creek Trail connects several family friendly parks – each with plenty of parking, restrooms and drinking fountains – making this a perfect place for a long out and back run. The trail also offers pretty scenery along the creek, lake and meadows, and it allows you run a fair distance completely off the streets. The trail is not completely shaded so plan your run accordingly during warm weather.
