Great pathway for walking, jogging, biking, strolling with kids. It's a gravelly, but flat surface. Winds around river. Must be beautiful in spring and fall. Lots of turtles, birds and swans. Butts up against a local park with lots of open space and dog parks.

Thanks for the review! Austin is beautiful year round, but the trees do lose their leaves in the winter.
