Riverplace Nature Trail Details
On a sunny day, there's no better place to be than on this trail. From beginning to end, this trail is approximately 6 miles long, and the steep 1,700-foot elevation climb makes it a moderate to advanced journey. Be prepared for a leg workout, as you'll need to climb up 2,763 steps over the course of 3 miles. While there aren't any major viewpoints, there are some peek-a-boo views over Hills Country on some parts of the trail. It's only a 30-minute drive from downtown Austin, which means you can easily escape the city and still be back in time for dinner.
