Lakeway Trails - Lakeway

Lakeway has built out several trails that are accessible to the public featuring a variety of trail surfaces. They range from doubletrack and crushed stone jogging trails to singletrack with some technical climbs. Two of the three trails are located next to each other with the third being a little over a mile away, so you have to add some street/jogging trail mileage to your ride.

Location: Lakeway, TX

Directions: Take 2222 west out of Austin to 620. Follow 620 south to Lakeway. Take Loehmann's Crossing off of 620 in Lakeway to just past the light at Lakeway Blvd. Hamilton Greenbelt is a couple miles on the right. Rim trails are located just behind the Lakeway Swim Center
