Nothing is more outside in Austin than the Greenbelt. Most Austinites have been or at least heard of it. So here is a reminder or a wake up call to those who have never been: the Greenbelt is a great place to go if you want to get outside.
It stretches about 8 miles long and covers 809 acres. You can bike, hike, picnic, swim, sun bathe and basically everything else you can think of that is outside. I personally like hiking through the trails or sun bathing by a waterfall. It is nature at its best! You can find map information here http://www.texasoutside.com/bartongreenbelt.htm.
The best part is that it is free!!! However, some advice, the entry off of S. Mopac is very beautiful and a family place during the weekend, although still nice on the weekdays, just know it will “smell like weed” in some spots…if you catch my drift.
