The Turkey Creek Trail runs through one of Austin's most beautiful parks. The 2.7-mile lollipop loop shown here follows several different streams that run through Emma Long Park, crossing through the water in a few places.
Description
While the hike is quite mellow, there are a few short, steep rocky sections and some exposed roots, but most hikers won't have any problem traversing this trail. This park is also popular as an off-leash dog area.
