The Slaughter Creek Trail is Open

• We encourage you to ride the beautiful trail and and we appreciate Trail Steward Britt Jones and all the fine folks who put in countless hours getting this trail completed! However, this trail has some unique elements and there is some important information you need to know before riding: The City of Austin Water Utility (City) owns and maintains the Water Quality Protection Lands (WQPL’s). This is not a park, but rather a sensitive environmental area that is preserved in order to protect and improve the quality of water entering the aquifer. As trail users, we are all stakeholders of this property and, therefore, we are all responsible for the trail systems management and maintenance. It is our responsibility to maintain the trail and not interfere with the many studies being done by the City and their associates. As stakeholders, when we use the trail system, we must ensure that we remain on the trail. Also as Stakeholders of the trail, if we witness other trail users getting off the trail, it is our responsibility to inform and educate those persons of proper trail etiquette so that we do not lose the privilege to use this land that many of us have worked long and hard to shape into a public multi-use trail system.  Details about the trail and the rules for usage can be found on our Trails page.

All Level Group Rides
Sundays at Walnut Creek - 9:30 a.m.

We will split up into group/skill levels as needed. Helmets are required along with a bike in good working order. If it rains within 24 hours of the ride, we will cancel.
