Attend Our Guided Walks!
Save Texas Streams' guided walks invite the greater Austin community to slow down and connect with the unique natural beauty of Barton Creek, Barton Springs, and the surrounding Hill Country. Led by naturalists and passionate volunteers, these walks offer participants the chance to learn about native plants, wildlife, geology, and the fragile ecosystems that make Central Texas so special.
More than just a hike, each walk is an opportunity to deepen one’s appreciation for the land and water Save Texas Streams works to protect. Whether exploring seasonal wildflowers, spotting wildlife, or discussing the history of conservation in the area, participants walk away inspired to care for and defend these irreplaceable natural treasures.
Guided Walk: Nightlife on the Barton Creek Greenbelt
July 24, 2026 | 7:45 PM - 10 PM
1600 Spyglass Drive, Austin, TX 78746 (Spyglass Trailhead)
Meet us at the Barton Creek Greenbelt Spyglass Trailhead for an interpretive night hike. We'll walk a total of 1.75 miles out-and-back. Bring some water and a flashlight or headlamp. Dogs on leashes are welcome if well behaved and cleaned up after.
You'll likely see or hear up to a dozen nocturnal creatures on this hike. Our Board Vice President and seasoned Capital Area Master Naturalist, Andrew Harrod, will point out to you what exactly you are hearing or seeing. By the end of this hike, you'll either walk away with a newfound confidence around nighttime wildlife or a new favorite way to explore Austin's parks — after dark! The Greenbelt closes at 10 pm, so we'll wrap up before then. Join us for food and drinks afterwards if interested!
