San Gabriel River Trails: This 6.5-mile urban trail/bikeway follows Georgetown's scenic North and South San Gabriel Rivers, featuring natural springs, wetlands, a star gazing and bird watching area, and the historic Blue Hole Park (designated 2006).
Angel of Goliad Trail — Following along the San Antonio River, this 2-mile multi-use trail is rich with historical and natural treasures. The trail is named in honor of a heroine of the Texas Revolution, Panchita Alavez, who is responsible for saving at least 28 people. This trail offers a haven for bird watchers and butterfly enthusiasts, while providing a key connection between historic downtown Goliad, Goliad State Historical Park, and the Presidio La Bahia. In addition to its scenic features, the trail provides opportunities for hiking, biking, and natural history interpretation (designated 2004). Brushy Creek Regional Trail — This 3-mile urban trail and conservation corridor was originally part of a planned 8-mile system, but the trail's initial success has led to a vision of expanding the system to 30 miles. Located along Brushy Creek in the Hill Country, the trail serves as a key community connector to local parks, wetlands, businesses, and neighborhoods. Trail users enjoy a variety of recreational activities, including walking, hiking, and biking. Resulting from a partnership between Williamson County, 3 cities, 2 municipal utility districts, and many private landowners, this valued trail is a fine example of what is possible through a diverse partnership (designated 2004). Doeskin Ranch Trail System — Located near Austin in Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, this backcountry, interpretive trail system extends more than 3 miles. Visitors can explore an array of habitats and learn about the resource management practices and historical aspects of the refuge. The trail system offers a wealth of scenic vistas and opportunities to observe wildlife, such as the endangered Golden-cheek Warbler and Black-capped Vireo (designated 2005). Willows Trail — Located on Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, this 0.8-mile walking/wildlife observation trail meanders through a variety of natural habitats and takes visitors to "The Willows," a popular spot for migratory birds crossing the Gulf of Mexico.
